Potentiometer Wattage question

Hello all,

Trying to fit a ‘10K-A Mid Pot’ into a DIY Fender Champ with semi tight spacing and not enough room to fit a standard 24mm pot.

Looking at 16mm Alpha Pots, with a ‘Wattage Rating of .06W’, is that too low for Tone Pots on Fender Amps?

Linear 16mm Alphas are .125W. Not sure why Audio/Log are only .06W...

And of course the larger standard pots are .25W.

Would the .06W Rating be safe in the case of a Mid Pot?


Thanks for your help
 
I don't know where you intend to place it. It is safe to use if the voltage on it does not exceed 25V.
 
Thanks..

In this case it will be set up as a Variable Resistor Mid Pot as in AB763’s:

Champ AA764: Bass Pot Lug 1 > New Mid Pot Lug 2 > .047 Tone Cap // Ground Mid Pot Lug 1

Below 25V in this case?
 
If you mean something like on this schematic, it seems to be ok to use it
