Hi Larry,
Thanks for your help. Of course, I am still confused. First of all,
the part number you suggested is for center-detent pots, which
generally I do not think I will need. (perhaps EVU-E2JFK4B54
would work...).Also, I only see code values for 5k, 10k, 20k, and
50k pots. Since many CGS modules, use, for instance, 100k
pots, I suspect I am out of luck or not understanding rating very
well (certainly possible...).
As your response indicates, I seem to have confused thru-hole
parts with surface-mount parts. I guess I meant to say I am
looking for small panel-mounting pots (neither smt nor
thru-hole) that have solder lugs so that I can run wires from a
pcb to a panel. Alternativelly, I wonder whether I can can solder to
thru-hole type-pins and then run cables to the PCB.
But I would prefer a solid mechanical connection (i.e., lugs), so
I suspect I need alternatives to the pots Blacet uses.
Also, please forgive me, but I could not parse the syntax of your
following tip:
"Since you are asking for tips, get some heat shrink just large
enough to cover the wire you solder to the pot pin and prepared
the wires to the normal thru-hole pins covered in this fashion."
Despite my confusion (and any more confusion I might be
perpetuating!), I am very thankful for your attempts to help.
Take care,
Bob
