Bourns 3296W Precision Wirewound Potentiometer 10kΩ 0.5W from Germany
This is a compact, precision multiturn wirewound potentiometer designed for adjustment circuits in audio equipment and instrumentation. It has a power rating of 0.5W, well under 20W, and uses a wirewound resistive element with three leads for voltage divider applications. Classified under HTS 8533.31.00.00 as a wirewound variable resistor (potentiometer) with power handling capacity not exceeding 20W.

Import Tips
• Verify power rating documentation (≤20W) and wirewound construction via manufacturer specs to confirm HTS 8533.31 classification
• Include test reports confirming resistance value and variable function; avoid misclassification as fixed resistors (8533.10)
