Potentiometer values

Digikey, for example, have multiple different versions of PT10 - 100K in stock. They can be vertical or horizontal mount & possibly differences in the centre, for eg. screwdriver or spindle fitting.


The 906k part is most likely a manufacturing date or batch code, and not relevant to a replacement.

Using a 1M would put the entire adjustment range in 1/10th of a turn, if it's used as a variable resistor. I'd stick to the correct value.

Thank you,
I have felt like a bear with a fishing pole, trying to understand this dilemma.
