Mini potentiometer w/switch?

Mar 12, 2007 13 Replies

Been looking for a miniature panel-mount pot (12 mm or alike) with single pole switch on the back (CCW = off). Not finding anything. All I see is those large 1W things.I've tried all the usual (Allied, Digi-Key, Mouser), no joy.



Where can I find one?



Thanks,

Thanks for the reference: Bourn PTR901 series. This is actually a great solution: push-on, push-off. Now to find who stocks it. Jameco: no. Digi-Key: nyet. Mouser: nein. Allied: non.

Who else can I try for single quantities?

Thanks,

Try potentiometers.com

Thanks. They look like they might have something, but when I see "1000 pc min. order" on all items, I kinds lose focus...

Any other possible sources for a 500K linear pot w/push-switch?

Thanks again,

UK though.

Thanks. Hope I can find a US domestic part. I'd like to not have to order international.

The data sheet says "Used in domestic lighting dimmer controls" which gives me ideas. How many dimmers can I afford to cannibalize in my search...?

Thanks for the pointer,

Al, the usual

Newark normally has them but is out of stock. I would call Bourns.

Will Bourn sell single units?

Maplin UK seem to have various at 2.26 Pounds Sterling each.

But I'm trying to exhaust all local (USA) options before considering international purchases.

Thanks for the pointer, however.

Their distributors might.

It's a shame you can't AIUI still get the Allen Bradley mod-pots.

What are those?

It was like a 'kit pot'. You bought the bits (assemblies) and assembled it.
