Hello everyone,

I'm a senior mechanical engineering student working on a project where I need to emulate the signals generate from the PCB below which are sent to a more complicated PCB, but the silkscreen print on the PCB was for some other design that it was originally used for.  Anyway, I've attached pictures of the components that I need to identify - the ones covered in the red goo.  I'm sure this is something common, but my best guess would have to be some sort of capacitor.

Thanks for the (potential) help!
Ethan

Preset potentiometer.
the 502 is 5K ohms
the 103 is 10K ohms

Edit: Added the qualifier 'ohms'.
Edit 2: Changed pots to potentiometer for absolute clarity.

Interesting, never seen these before.  I'm assuming it's for calibration of the main trim pot that's on the circuit as both of the preset pots are hooked directly to the trim pots terminals?  Thank you for the very fast reply!

Trim Pot = Preset Pot...
I think you are referring to "Regular Pots" when you say Trim Pot.

Cheers,

Indeed I was, been a couple years since I took an electrical engineering course and my terminology is a bit fuzzy!
