Flatted 6mm D Shaft Logarithmic Potentiometer Audio Log Volume Control A D

This is one item of new, single gang, logarithmic taper carbon track potentiometer which has a standard 6mm D-shaped flatted shaft.

The turning shaft length is 8mm and the threaded section of the pot is 6mm. A nut and a washer are included for mounting on a front panel. The mounting hole required is 7mm diameter.

The A10K variation is an exception. The shaft is somewhat longer, the turning part being 14mm.

The connection pins will allow either PCB mounting or soldered wire connections. The "A" prefix before the track resistance value denotes an audio track taper. The max power rating is 0.1W.

The pin spacing is 5mm
The shaft diameter is the standard 6.0mm metric size, (*not* 6.35mm 0.25")
The width across the flat is a little over 5mm, standard size.
The flat points downwards towards the centre pin when the pot is at the mid-point.
The rotation angle is 300 degrees.

If you have a pot with a track label of A503, this is a A50K where 3 is the number of zeros after 50 in Ohms. A 502 would be 5K, a 472 would be 4K7 etc. Sometimes pots may also be labelled with the A as a suffix i.e. 50KA.
