Author Mini potentiometer w/switch?
DaveC

2007-03-12, 9:25 am

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,

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,

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,

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

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

Thanks for the pointer, however.
