Title: Solder lugs for wire pots
Post by: U4U on May 27, 2017, 04:35:47 AM
Hi there, I'm just building an advanced pre amp now, but some of the pots (2.5 kA) are only avalable with solder lugs for wire. As I do not like to use wire here (they should be PCB mount angeled) I'm thinking about additional solder lugs screwed or soldered to the original solder lugs. These additional solder lugs look like ebay 201858517728. There are many different types available, but I'm absolutly not sure which I should use. I do not like to buy  severeal different types. Maybe someone has experiences in doing it like I intend to and could be of some advice here.

Thank you,

U4U

Use either buss wire, or really really short wire runs (about 5mm of insulation left.)

Needs must.
