10K Ohm Potentiometer Switch Wiring Diagram

Download 10K Ohm Potentiometer Switch Wiring Diagram
Background. This potentiometer wiring is very common in audio equipment. I got the fix alright but i wanted to understand how the person calculated to a 10k 5 pin potentiometer for a b50k potentiometer.

10 kohms 1 turn switch potentiometers are available at mouser electronics. All power ratings are with the entire resistance element in circuit, so maximum dissipation reduces as the resistance is reduced (assuming series or 'two terminal' rheostat wiring). These k numbers are the resistance ratings (kohms).

The ground is all the way off, terminal 2 is the switch itself, and terminal 3 is the switch turned all the way up.

Sometimes, you can use a pot to overclock a device with a stronger signal. You can experiment with different pots on your guitar: If it helps, think of a potentiometer as a dimmer switch. All power ratings are with the entire resistance element in circuit, so maximum dissipation reduces as the resistance is reduced (assuming series or 'two terminal' rheostat wiring).
