Hi All,

I'm looking for a source that supplies audio potentiometers, namely a
dual-ganged 500K Ohm log taper pot w/loudness tap.

Does anyone have a good source for reasonably priced audio
potentiometers? They do not need to be premium brands, just good
reliable pots like CTS and Clarostat used to provide.

I'm looking into producing a new line of amplifiers, and the pots have
me stumped (need a source)

Best regards,

Ryan


I'm assuming that a log taper pot is an audio taper pot, since decibels
are a log scale. Mouser has the pots you're looking for for $2.35
each. Page 434 of the current catalog. The price goes down fairly
sharply as you start buying in quantity, bottoming at $1.62 for 500+.
If you want more than a thousand, they say to contact them. I can't
vouch for the quality or lack therof for any brand of these things.
The part number for the ones I found (Alpha is the company that made
them) is 313-2420-500k

Mouser electronics' webpage is at
http://www.mouser.com/, but their
site can be painful to find things on. They will, however, send you a
free catalog the size of a small municipal phonebook, and they haven't
groused that my orders from them amount to only a few dollars worth of
resistors, diodes, and caps, so I'd recommend them.

Hope this helps.
