Hi...
I really like the trim-pot included in a couple AdaFruit kits I have - the breadboard-friendly 10k unit found here: http://www.adafruit.com/products/356
Alas, I'd like to find some in some other resistance ranges. Does anyone have a Mouser/Digikey/other part number I could use to find other ranges in the same physical package as the 10k one?
Trimpot part number?

I don't think that one in the picture is a Bourns though... I think this was asked before and someone posted a link to some place that had them. The ones with the shafts on them can be difficult to find. The ones with the screwdriver slot and no shaft are easy to find.

Doesn't seem Bourns makes them anymore. Which kit has them?

Oops, I misremembered. The "Adjustable Breadboard Power Supply" is where I thought I remember them, but looking at the kit contents now, I was wrong.franklin97355 wrote:Doesn't seem Bourns makes them anymore. Which kit has them?
But still, I'd love to find more ranges of those knobbed ones.

I actually found that site first, but had no luck finding the right parts on Mouser, at least. Didn't really scan DigiKey yet.

<Sigh!> Ok, so I found the robotroom part numbers on DigiKey after all. My bad!adafruit_support wrote:This should get you started: http://www.robotroom.com/Trimpots.html
Mouser may have them as well, I just didn't find them at the time. I'd still like the one AdaFruit has better, though.
One of my goals with finding a range-of-ranges of trimpots is more for experimental bread-boarding, and less for permanent installations. So the 200-cycle ratings of the Bourns trimpots is a bit worrisome. I'll keep poking around, I guess.
Thanks for the infos!
