High quality motorized pot. Delivered as promised. However I'm removing one star for lack of information provided here about the part. I saw the word "linear" in the description and expected that the resistance would be linearly proportional to the angular twist of the shaft. (That is, when the shaft is 20% through its rotation, the resistance would be 20% of the 100k). But if you look at the part photo here (which is accurate) you will see a "B-4" on the part. This means a "B-4" resistance curve which is decidedly not flat. It's not logarithmic, but it's also not flat linear. I now know that a "B-1" or "B-2" curve is really the flat linear taper that I want.Search for 'bourns prm 100k b4' to find a data sheet with this curve. I'll add a picture to this review. Look closely for the "B4" curve on the plot. The data sheet will also show which pins do what on the pot.
