Spectrol 248/249 parts are 100% plastic construction (not the resistive element, the physical part). This means plastic shaft and worse, plastic *threads* . NOT RECOMMENDED. Also, the rotational torque of the shaft is *very* stiff. Tried them for 1 run of 1 module, they were not suitable. Stripping of the leads is VERY EASY to do. Paul S.
