Centralab pot grounding lugs

Post by NowFender »

Hello, Don't know if they have more but I purchased these on ebay and they fit on my ceriatone express pots fine with the copper wire grounding buss.

None on there now, but they are a good ebay source.
The double-armed lugs (Amphenol 31-759) are available from Digikey.

Hey Dr.

I looked up the digikey lugs. They don't appear to have a hole for the copper grounding bus wire. How do you use them in this particular application. Do you bend them around the bus and then solder them? I am sourcing a few remaining parts for a Rocket build, and am looking for pot grounding lugs. Haven't been able to find them yet. Anybody with another source?

If you have a drill press then you can use a simple jig to drill out the Amphenol lugs. I'm sure a hand drill would work as well. If you mess up on one arm, you still have the spare. I think others on the forum have just filed out a notch for the buss bar - there's another option.

I was wondering if you could drill them, but I couldn't tell if the arms were wide enough. Cool thanks!
