Like title says I somehow ordered wrong pots
These "50K OHM Linear Dual Taper Potentiometer Round Shaft PCB 9mm" from tayda.



Don't need the dual part, can I still use these and obviously just use the first set / lower pins ?
I've never delt with dual pots before.

Yes you can. The pot contains 2 separate wafers which don't interfere with each other electronically.
