  • What is a 10A250K pot?

    I bought a Bourns SD smooth taoer 250k pot and when I took it out of the package the numbers on the non metal part of the pot says 10A250K what is the 10A stand for?
    It's funny how some stories became historic,
    especially when the authors clearly wrote them to be metaphoric,
    But people will believe anything when it's written in stone or ancient scroll...-Fat Mike

    10 = 10% tolerance. Pretty standard.
    A = audio/log scale
    250,000 ohms impedance.
