    SMD Trimpot Markings Help

    Does anyone know what the 3C markings on this SMD trimpot mean?

    It reads A13C and I think A1 is 10ohm but I don't know what 3C means.




    I could use a little help.

    Thanks

    I think the 3C may be indicating the capacitor is 3 pico farad.

      It can't be 3 pico farad, it is a resistive pot. Check the resistance with a meter.

      You might be getting mixed up with your other post https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=103203

        if the one next to it is the same, desolder it and meter the track

          Sorry had two posts running here. You're correct obviously a trimmer pot isn't a capacitor.

          The trimmer pot has a range of 2 ohms to 1.1K ohms.

          I believe the markings are actually read A3 1C and this is a Bourns component. Bourns lists the A3 marking as 1000 ohms and this pot is part of their 3313 series. I still don't know what 1C equates to.

          Thanks for pointing out my error. I hope it doesn't confuse someone down the road.
