does this potentiometer have an off position?
Asked by gershal on February 15th, 2023.
This potentiometer does have a "zero" position, but does not have a detent or switching mechanism.
Product Reviews
Nice pot. Low price. The Bourns MN taper pot is well made. If anything the wipers are a little weak, isn't a problem unless you mess with them
Very high quality, works great!
Very high quality, works great!
This part is great and is exactly what I needed. It is a much better part than it replaced. As usual,even though my order was a small one the staff was great and treated me as though it was a big time order. With all the lousy customer service you get now days I really appreciate that. I won't buy parts from anyone else. Their shipping is even lower than most other electrical part suppliers.
