Radio Shack 25-Ohm 3-Watt Rheostat Review

Great Part But Very Overpriced

★★★☆☆

"Great part works fine, it is hard to find wire wound rheo's around this value (25 ohm) and I think Radio Shack knows this so they have the price jacked up sky high. If you only need to buy one of these for a project the price is not to bad but when you use 20 a week... "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"This rheostat wires as does any typical pot. The middle is the wiper like on pots, and the two ends are the respective ends. It seems to work very well as part of my attenuator circuit (low power section). "
