Taiss 30pcs 10K Ohm Potentiometer WH148 B10K Variable Resistors 15mm Shaft 3 Terminals Linear Taper Rotary Audio B Type Potentiometer, Volume Control Potentiometer B10K

I purchased these to build an Atari Punk Console and they have worked well. These potentiometers fit a standard breadboard for prototyping which is helpful.The pots fit a standard size knob which means those can be customised which is useful

I've had some cheap pots that dramatically jump resistance during adjustment. So far, these are smooth and without artifact.

Arrived sooner than expected, I have only tested one of the 30 potentiometers which performed as expected. Good product at exceptional cost

The pins are too thin for Dupont connector to reliably attach to directly, soldering non-destructively is tricky, but I found a good method.I tried connecting Dupont female pins to these, but the connection it made was always terribly unreliable, due to how thin the pins are (the pins are not square, they are stamped sheet metal, correct width, but half the thickness needed)- the dupont connectors would slip sideways a little, lose their spring pressure, then just become electrically disconnected. I decided to then try soldering-I initially destroyed a few, attempting to directly solder wire to them- I was adding enough solder to build up a nice large bead on the pins, then attaching the wires. I was confused afterwards, on why the potentiometer was failing open-circuit, but found out that if any flux or solder made its way up the pin, and onto where the crimp was made for the pin to the PCB of the pot, it would cause that connection to intermittently fail (I assume the flux was acting like an insulator, and the crimp wasn't tight enough to keep solder from working its way under it).The solution I found, was to be very careful to only solder the tip of the pin, and to ensure no solder or flux ever made its way up to the end. To accomplish this, I used a female dupont connector as a fixture, inserted male dupont pins into it, then soldered the ends of the male dupont pins to the very tips of each pin (see picture).

theyre kind of small and cheap but you get 50 so im happy
