Title: Custom Dual-Gang Pot.....
Post by: GrindCustoms on October 07, 2013, 10:30:50 PM
Yoski guys.....this is a long call but.....

Do any of you knows what is the minimum required quantity to get custom made pots from Alpha or any other pot company?

I'm working on a new design....and i would need a dual gang with a B500R taper and B1M taper....

For now...i'll source B1M dual gang and get single 500R and swap the waffers....but i feel like that story is going to get long real fast.....and expensive aswell.....

Any input is much appreciated :)

Cheerios!

I've got a few digital pots I've been toying with.  The problem is finding values, tapers, and through hole.

Yeah, i was scrolling through what is available in through-hole....and they will be SMT...does'nt bother me and will take less place on an already huge layout.

Will also use an Attiny45 IC with custom program....with just a B10K pot or something like that to control the parameter.
