Push Push pots

CasperCaster

I'm not certain if many people are aware that CTS produce a range of push-pull pots which don't have the circuit board style switch connections. The 18VRGT series are based off the 270 series pots and are cosmetically very similar to the Bourns pots, having a similar switch mounted below the pot, solder tags connections etc. Digi-Key sell them, so there are minimum order values to apply and VAT to add, but I think I'd try/ trust a CTS one over an Alpha one  Maybe something to try if Bourns aren't available, or if Digi-Key have a lower minimum order value or lower delivery cost (honestly don't remember of the top of my head). Anyway, another possibility for push-pull pots. I've got one in my parts bin that I ordered late last year, simply to try when I next need one. No experience yet, but I'm sure I'll find a use for it soon.

I think the OP is after push push, but funnily enough I’ve spent the last week doing my nut in trying to figure out which push pull pots are in the Buckethead signature so I think you’ve done me a favour here. Bourns and Alpha have a slightly different case and the wrong knurling on the knob while I could only find the plastic CTS ones

Its the red coloured ones you want not the green

That's a tad annoying, there was a 32 week lead time for 500k when I looked last week.
