I was looking for reverse log taper potentiometers and couldn't find them with Newark's search function so I asked the "helpful" live chat "tech". They cave me info on a Bourns pot with "Audio CW and Audio CCW" options. Are these LOG/RLOG tapers?

By the way, I hate chat functions. The little screens are way too small to read without a magnifying glass and I type too slow.

Thanks
 
But note that some manufacturers (like Alps) have more than one "audio taper"...

Best regards,

Basically close enough. Audio taper isn't true log. Log never goes to zero for a start!

They'll both (reverse log and reverse audio taper) work fine when it comes to preventing all the control from squishing up at one end of the rotation.

Thomas, what value do you need?
API your working on by any chance?
I noticed the other day that John Hardy sells a 1 K rev log for 19.99 if anybody needs one.

I have none and just want a couple to do breadboarding with. Nothing important or urgent.

Not the highest quality line but the price is right!
