I see in the August 2007 Jameco catalogue that some potentiometers are listed as having the property of a "non-rotational key." Can someone tell me what this means?
Any help is appreciated.

Question on potentiometers

A non-rotational key is a pin or tab on the front surface of the pot that fits into a hole or slot in the panel that the pot is mounted on. Keeps the pot from spinning if the mounting nut works loose. Also assures an accurate mounting position for the pot, needed if the mounting surface has a dial or other legend painted or engraved.
