Explanation:
pot -> potentiometer,即电位器,有各种阻值规格,没有万能的说法,译成万能会造成误解。

我的看法,之所以要加个versa,主要是为了有个前缀以便匹配pot和knob,即versa的电位器搭配versa的旋钮。

你可以参考下你的第二个文件的日文版,也是保留不译的,连pot都没译:

遠隔操作式の Versa-Pot やパネル実装型 Mini-Pot 向けの時間調整ダイアル。印刷されたイメージへのダメージを防止する、反転した画面を印刷した透明プラスチック付き。

Notes to answerer
Asker: 请问“versa的电位器搭配versa的旋钮”是什么意思?能全用中文解释下吗?还有,不知道我理解对了没有,你认为versa-pot中versa指“有各种阻值规格”,是吗?这似乎有点说不通,因为如果一个人versatile,那是说他多才多艺,同理,一个potentiometer如果versatile,应该也是说这【一个】potentiometer有多种XXX吧(不管这XXX指什么)。按你的意思,似乎是一个versa-pot只有一个阻值,那说它是versa的意义在哪儿?抱歉,我对电学这方面不熟悉,说得不对的地方请见谅。
