Title: Fatpants Trimmer Q
Post by: jtn191 on December 27, 2011, 05:33:38 PM
Hi,

I ordered a 50k trimmer from smallbear and it has a 1~3 marking on it which explains how the 1-3 pins are orientated...problem is, it's 180 degrees from how it looks on the board. I bent the pins to reverse it and soldered it in, but it's laying against the 1N4001s. Think this'll work??

Trimpots are non directional. You didn't need to bend any leads, would should just install it as normal.
