Potentiometer Wattage question
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2022 3:04 pm
Hello all,
Trying to fit a ‘10K-A Mid Pot’ into a DIY Fender Champ with semi tight spacing and not enough room to fit a standard 24mm pot.
Looking at 16mm Alpha Pots, with a ‘Wattage Rating of .06W’, is that too low for Tone Pots on Fender Amps?
Linear 16mm Alphas are .125W. Not sure why Audio/Log are only .06W...
And of course the larger standard pots are .25W.
Would the .06W Rating be safe in the case of a Mid Pot?
Thanks for your help
