I upgraded my 4 star up to f5. Some of the concerns below are still in play, but the potential issue as to weather or not they are wire wound has been put to rest. Original Review: Not exactly sure what they actually are. I needed a fairly large number of Bourns 3590 multi turn pots. But they are very pricey, and if you need quite a few of them, it starts to add up. I checked to make sure they were functional, and they were. However, I also have some real Bourns 3590 pots, and they are not exactly the same, even though they look the same. The shaft on these pots offers resistance to turning, while the real Bourns pots rotate freely. Also, as you turn these pots, they feel smooth, where as the real Bourns pots will give a very slight sensation as the wiper rides over the wire wound element. Despite the claim, I have serous doubts about the claims that these are wire wound. These came from China, and so did others that I purchased from various sources. The funniest one had the name Bones on it rather than Bourns. And prices vary. I found one seller that was selling them for just a bit more than a dollar. All come from Asia, and are probably made in the same factory. I have no idea what kind of endurance they might have. I am strongly tempted to break one open to see what they really are. Still, I give them a 4-Star rating because they will do the job I want them to do. However, for more critical applications I will stick with real (and expensive) Bourns pots from authorized distributors. Review: Nifty little item - If you're looking for a basic potentiameter, this is a quality, small one. I like it, it works well. The only con that I could find is the fact that it doesn't have a dial that tells you what level it's on. If that's not something you require, then this is a good item. ## Features - Product name : potentiometer; model : 3590S-2-103L 10K ohm ; Type : rotary potentiometer - Resistance Tolarance : +/-5%; Linearity : +/-0.25%; Shaft Diameter : 6.35 x 10mm/ 0. 25" x 0. 4"(D*l) - Threaded Diameter : 9mm/ 0.35";Body Size(No Include Shaft) : 22 x 19mm/ 0.9" x 0.7" (D*H);Total Length : 42mm / 1.65" - Type : Rotary Shaft ; Technology : Wirewound; Turns : 10; Power: 2W ; Rotating Life: 1,000,000 times - Weight : 60G; package content : 2 x Potentiometer + 2 x A03 knob ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07D7YH9N2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,146 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #13 in Potentiometers | | Date First Available | May 23, 2018 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2.11 ounces | | Manufacturer | Taiss | | Package Dimensions | 4.57 x 3.03 x 0.31 inches | ## Images ![rotary potentiometer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71a4CsPiO8L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just not too sure about these...but they seem to work good. *by J***L on September 5, 2024* Update: I cracked one of these open, and by gosh, they ARE wire wound.

I like it, it works well. The only con that I could find is the fact that it doesn't have a dial that tells you what level it's on. If that's not something you require, then this is a good item. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth Adjustment *by J***M on March 21, 2025* I got two of these 10k, ten-turn potentiometers to upgrade my workbench DC power supply. The original voltage pot was scratchy and the current pot was only 3/4 turn. There was plenty of room inside the panel, but I did have to drill the mounting holes out a little bit. These pots worked out great. The adjustments are now even and without skips. The only snag was the knobs. They are 1 inch in diameter and the pots are an inch apart on my power supply. Since the knobs aren’t perfectly concentric, they rubbed and interfered with each other. I put one on a bit high on it shaft until I can find slightly smaller knobs or trim these down a tiny bit. ## Frequently Bought Together - Taiss 2pcs 3590S Rotary Potentiometer 10k ohm Potentiometer 10-Turn Wire Wound Precision, Precision Multi Turn Wirewound Potentiometer+2pcs A03 knob (3590S-2-103L 10k ohm) - HiLetgo 2pcs 0.28" Digital Voltmeter Ammeter DC 100V 10A Amp Voltage Current Meter Tester 0.28 Inch 3 Bits Blue + Red Dual LED Display Panel with Connect Wires - CenryKay 3590S-2-103L 10K，2PCS 10kohm 10-Turn Rotary Wire Wound Precision Potentiometer with 2PCS Adjustable Resistor Counting Dial Rotary Knob --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/105905360-rotary-potentiometer](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/105905360-rotary-potentiometer) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
