Looking for a 10K linear slide potentiometer

[Ioannis]

I suppose, if the product is not very well made, manufacturers might hide some of the specs!

For a pot most will think it is not too much important to know such details...

Putting a label like that "DO NOT PUT IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OR UNDER UV LAMPS OR ANYTHING THAT CAN DEGRADE PLA PREMATURELY" I am pretty sure would go viral!

I'm not sure I'd like to go viral for that reason.

Well, I found even better than buying from AliExpress. A manufacturer just offered me a deal at my exact specs 17.5 times less expensive than North American prices.
:O

She reduced her MOQ because I already bought SR25 rotary switches from them.

I really hope that these pots are in fact true linear B1 curve ones.

Nice offer!

I hope so. She gave me a chart and it's pretty much in line with what Bourns offers for straight B taper.

If you look at their PTL and PTA datasheets, Bourns has a taper chart, but nothing in the PTB datasheet. It took Bourns something like 2 weeks to send me that chart.




By the way, I was in talks with one manufacturer that identified their slide pots by PTB. I didn't go with that one; their price was just a bit higher than "the chosen one".

Big companies, big delays!

Hope that the chinese one works as it should be. Wish you luck.
