Nice assortment. However, they are not very secure in a breadboard - very loose fit.

I use these when it's impractical to calculate the correct value for a circuit, or where I want to be able to adjust the value. While I wouldn't say these are equal in quality to Bourns or other name brands, they are great for the price, and when used with that in mind, very helpful. I would not advise using these in a production environment without further research and a real spec document.

These trimmers are made by Baoter. I have never had any issues with the Baoter units. Smooth resistance changes with no skipping of the wiper. Only one thing to consider.... as others have noted, there are 3 x 4 bins shown on the key card, however the container has a 3 X 5 compartment layout. It may look at first that you have been short changed, in reality though, all the advertised trimmers are there.

This a a good assortment and number of pots for the price.

Better quality than I expected for this price. Useful for electronic projects.Accurate: 5kOhm measured 5.083kOhm, 50kOhm measured 50.12kOhmThis is much better than the 10% spec.

No duds so far. These will run out at the end and break so listen for the ciick and STOP when you here it or you WILL break it. These measure within the tolerance I expect at this price point. If you need super high quality buy Bournes.

Perfect fit, save $4k air filter from scrap heap. Pay close attention to physical size of the resistor, they come in several shapes. The legs are very flexible, thus very forgiving.

The ohms measurements are correct!

The accuracy on these is pretty good in terms of there measured values. The only two problems I have are 1) they are very loose and wiggle very easy in a breadboard so not ideal for a project that requires constant altering of the resistance value, but on the contrary very good for a fix resistance value, and good for soldering into a circuit. 2) once you get to a certain point going down in resistance, it doesn’t take much To jump from for example 2000 ohms to like 300ohms, there’s a very thin line between where the resistance drops smoothly and steadily to a sudden major drop and almost having no resistance. Still great though would recommend

This set will come with what appears to be some missing pieces but it's only because they put it in a container with too many slots. Some had only three or two pots in them instead of five which made me suspicious but if you look closer you'll see that the 100k to 500k pieces are just split into 2 different slots. Not sure why they do it like this but it threw me and some others off. They are all there though, 60 pieces. I did some tests on them too and they work pretty well.

I had purchased this kit for my son who is learning to bread-board circuits. The price is incredible! Other electronic suppliers would have charged me 8 times more to purchase these parts. Ok, these are 25 turn "pots" which gives you very precise adjustments for resistance values. They typically will make a clicking sound when you reach the end of travel. For those not familiar with these devices, it has 3 pins underneath. With an Ohm-meter connected to the 2 outside pins this will read the total resistance value of the "pot". Use the center pin and 1 of the outer pins to have adjustable resistance. One outer pin to the center pin will see an increase in resistance as the adjuster is turned clock-wise while the other outer pin will have a decrease in resistance. The resistance code found in the product description is also on the parts near the adjuster. The 1st & 2nd digits are the 1st two numbers of the resistance value & the 3rd digit tells you how many Zeroes: code 501 = 50 and 1 more zero (500 Ohms), code 102 = 10 and 2 more Zeroes (1000 Ohms), code 104 = 10 and 4 more Zeroes (100000 Ohms), etc. Hope this helps!
