Volume Potentiometer,12 Step Stepping Stereo Volume Potentiometer Dual 50K Amplifier Volume Pot with Switch

potentiometers also called pots are a type of electrical component known as a variable resistor typically in conjunction with a knob when the knob is turned the rotational motion is translated into a change in resistance in the electrical circuit which is then used to adjust the electrical signal such as volume in an audio signal wearing a potentiometer is a straightforward process for anyone with basic levels of experience with electronics begin by identifying the three terminals on the pot position it so that the shaft is facing towards the ceiling and the three terminals are facing towards you in this position you can easily identify the terminals from left to right as one two and three to make things easier you may wish to temporarily label them to keep track of which terminal is which while working next you will ground the first terminal of the pot the most common application of a
