Odp: [sdiy] Potentiometer related questions

[Roman Sowa]

1. Polish pot manufacturer designates linear pots as "A", and log
as "B". I thought it was the only one to do it the other way the rest
of the world does, but if you say it's European thing, that makes sense.
Usually "A" is log, and "B" - linear. For Alps too.

2. Bourns slimline series - PCW
body 23x23mm, 9mm high from PCB to panel - vertically mounted.
conductive plastic
