I am using one of these little pre-made DC-DC buck converters off eBay and I want to know what resistance these are and I dont know how to decipher the markings. Im asking because I want to attach a bigger potentiometer to it for ease of use.
Why not just measure it if you're taking it off the board anyway?

103 = 1, 0, 3 x zero = 10000 (ohms).

Thanks bud
Could you please explain this a bit more just so I wont have to come and ask again

10k linear pot

No shit; I mean how to calculate it like the coloured resistor codes

but check for a model number
w is pin/body layout
103 is resistance in the same way as colour bands work with last position as multiplier
what else do you need to know??

10*10^3

I bought like a bunch of these 6 years ago, used them back then but now they all dont work, dont know why Tried putting various loads on them the voltage is a little lower but the pot wont change it. Think they are all corroded?
