ALPS 10K linear sliders?

Parts Questions
1

Hi All,

I was wondering, does anyone know if ALPS makes their linear slider pots (faders) in a 10K version? I was looking at the Farnel website and they only sell the linear ones in a 50K version.

Does anyone know if/where you can get the 10K linears, or will the 50K be ok to use?

Cheers.

Yes they do. If your in the US, Mouser sells them.

$7.00 - 100mm

$8.00 - 60mm

Also , I was told by someone (Rogic i think) that 50k would work. came up because i had found some joysticks i was going to order.(never ordered them though, due to minimum order of 30 dollars, and they had nothing else i needed)

Doesn’t the “B Taper” and “D Taper” mean they are logarithmic, not linear?

The Mouser catalog that I have lists the taper as linear. You can download the catalog page from any of the two links above.
