How Our Score Is Calculated

Product Description

The potentiometer / rheostat is a 5 ohm, 25 watt, wire wound ceramic potentiometer.
Each piece has a quantity of one.
The dimensions of the item are A = 43mm, B = 40mm, F = 50mm, and L = 24
6mm is the diameter of the shaft.
This item is 100% brand new.

Questions & Answers

Are they able to be used in a circuit with DC power?

There is no problem with the item supporting DC circuitry

Which voltages are positive and which are negative when it is wired up?

It makes no difference.

In how many turns will the wheel turn?

There will be fewer Ideally, the center connector (ground) should be at 12 o'clock, since the pattern rotates approximately from 1 to 11.

This is a linear or a logarithmic potentiometer, isn't it? Are you planning to use it as a crossover for speakers?

Selected User Reviews For Electronics-Salon 25W 5 OHM High Power Wirewound Potentiometer, Rheostat, Variable Resistor.

The quality is marginal
3/5

The nuts on the threaded barrel are too thick for this application, so it requires a thin panel for mounting. As the threaded barrel is not rotational constrained, when tightening the nuts it keeps turning. The wiper runs smoothly across the barrel, however, it gets hung up at each end. You don't have to worry about it unless you have to take it to the same stop every time. The knob is not parallel to the mounting panel because there is a large clearance between its threaded barrel and the operating shaft.

It is what it is advertised to be
5/5

Despite being a less glamorous product, I still feel it deserves a A variable resistor was needed for some electronic bench testing, so I bought it. The solution worked perfectly.

Hardware was included with the package
5/5

In addition, This vendor has provided me with other items in the past and these items came with hardware, which I appreciated since my "junk drawer" is getting a bit Generally speaking, the quality is always good, and their packaging has been improved because each box came exclusive to them.

It is difficult to achieve precise resistance
3/5

It might be more accurate to use something more exact if you need to know exactly how much resistance you have. Changing the knob to reveal a change in the reading will create a change in the reading if it is ok to have a few ohms fluctuation.

Build it cheaply, but it's shoddy
3/5

There is no problem. I find that it works well. There has already been damage made to the housing as there is a noticeable crack in what appears to be a non-fault It's a question I'm asking myself about this crucial part of the pot. Can you use it for a professional application? I think it would be better for a student's grade school project.

It's a waste of time
3/5

If THEY don't deliver on their promises, then they don't work very well.

I expected it to be just as I had hoped
5/5

Everything went according to plan. I really like the way it works. A beautiful example of a classic.
