Round Shafted Amp Pots at Mouser

Post by davent »

Hello, Need a few pots to finish a build and wanted to add them to my Mouser order. The 24mm Alphas i've ordered from Mouser in the past have been replaced by pots with a knurled-shaft which is something i don't want. Any recommendations on Mouser offerings that have round shafts and are a good match for amps.

The Bourns PDA241's or is there something better suited hiding in there?

Thank you,

I just picked up 2 from the PDB18xGTR series. The body is small but I guess size doesn't matter?
If it says "Vintage" on it, -it isn't.

Looking at Mouser, the pictures have been replaced with knurled shaft pots but the description still says "round/plain" shaft type.

Thanks for that Deric! I was getting lost as well, interpreting the part #, took a long time to sort out that 'R' represented round shaft.

You have to read very carefully when ordering from Mouser.
Make sure you read about the component and it's specs.

Or you'll end up having a bunch of strange parts that you can't use.

Don't ask me how I know......

Don't let that smoke out!
