LCSC Bourns Potentiometers

(1/3) > >>

Pentoad:
Would anyone recommend buying bourns potentiometers from LCSC? If I order 100 they are 28 pence each. If that's not a good idea is there any other place to get decent quality trimmers? The product I am developing has three trimmers on it and if I buy potentiometers from Farnell, it would make the product too expensive to be profitable. Vishay T93yb is 75p each not including vat.

GromBeestje:
I have never bought potmeters at LCSC, but I have bought various other components components at LCSC. I never had any issue. So I'd say it's a good to go.

Pentoad:
I will give it a try, I don't think they will be genuine as genuine ones are usually over £1 each.

Everything from LCSC should be genuine, that we've seen and discussed here.
Although, Bourns 3296 is commonly faked. You can even buy under the clone brand names, Bochen/Baoter/etc. But they are clearly of a lower quality internally.

I've added some to my next order, maybe cut them open and compare to the Baoters to see if they match the genuine (there is a thread around with photos).

LCSC is a distributor for Bourns. https://lcsc.com/brand-detail/377.html

Bourns has a lot of distributors in China, especially Shenzhen where LCSC is based. https://bourns.com/support/sales-locations

That's why there is a lot of Bourns parts from China. I wouldn't be surprised if they had manufacturing facilities there since that's where most of their customers (contract manufacturers) are.
