Trim Pots

Post by DiscoVolante »

Okay, so I broke my 5k trim pot. I'm looking for a replacement at various supplier sites, but I don't really know what to look for.

Anyone know where to find the exact ones included with x0xb0x?

I just did a google search for "cermet trimmer"
http://www.oselectronics.com/ose_p75.htm

here's the first result. Not the same as in the x0xb0x (and the square blue ones are much larger across) but they're trim pots... look around and you'll find plenty more.

One of these days I would love to contribute a revised BOM in "standard" format... if I don't have time to do it maybe someone else will.

The format I envision is:

left column: part types used, organized by type and value [i.e. all capacitors, ordered by value, then each type of diode, then each value of resistor used... etc.]

middle column: board locations in which the component type is used

right column: Manufacturer part# / Supplier and supplier's part number

This makes it really easy to cross-reference parts, and to order replacements.
