Schneider Electric E8231VC-5 Volume Control 5W, 8ohm typically used in audio systems to adjust the volume of a speaker or amplifier. 5W is the power handling capability of the volume control. This means it can handle up to 5 watts of power without being damaged. 8 ohm refers to the impedance, which is a measure of the opposition to the flow of electric current.

In this case, it's the impedance that the volume control is designed to work with. Most speakers have an impedance rating, and it's important that the volume control matches the impedance of the connected speakers or amplifiers.
