Video: Trap for young players! The "hidden" danger of trimmers / trimpots
(1/1)
w2aew:
In this video, I review the obvious, and not-so-obvious differences between potentiometers rated as "controls" vs. those known as trimmers or trimpots. There is at least one critical parameter that can wreak havoc...
nez:
Thanks for that video, I was unaware of the pitfall!
BravoV:
Thanks Alan. :-+
Ahh .. topic of pots, one of my weird fetish ...
Wonder whats the endurance/operating life of this "thingy". :P
Size comparisons.

Electro Detective:
If space permits, a better deal at the same price, is to go the bigger, repetition friendly pot,
carefully chop the top of the shaft if height is a drama,
and or Dremel/hacksaw in a screwdriver buddy slot on the top as well
I am assuming the bigger pots with bigger/thicker track/s can take a lot more current than the whimpy plastic trimmers,
less dust, crust ingress and physical distortion over time,
and reduces the chances of mystery issues :-//
and Lab RAGE!!! :horse: |O :rant: >:(.. :-[
