These are direct drop in replacements for the common Alpha 9mm vertical trimmers and metal shafted potentiometers. They are also directly compatible with many other 9mm pot footprints from Bourns, Panasonic and others, see the datasheet for footprint details.

These pots are more ergonomic due to the longer shaft and they are easier to read than the competitive offerings due to the white marker line. These pots also have a 15,000 cycle lifespan compared to the Alpha 9mm pot 10,000 cycle lifespan.

You may recognise these pots from recent Intellijel and WMD Euro modules and the Bugbrand WorkshopCrusher.

This B50K Linear pot is suitable for the ‘Scale’ pot on the Turing Machine.

Pair with the new MXR knob in the same colour range

New Black 1900h types

• Black No Line – No white line on the top. Encoder style for ‘endless’ rotary pots on digital modules.
• Black (T18) – For 18 teeth knurled shafts such as Doepfer, Elby etc. These are pure plastic, not brass inserted.
• Black (D) – For Make Noise, Intellijel, 4ms and many more. These are pure plastic, not brass inserted. Double check your modules actual knob orientation details before purchasing.

The Black (D) part has been specially manufactured to fit correctly on new style Make Noise modules. The Rogan knobs on Make Noise modules have a round hole for around 7mm of the knob shaft before it turns to a D shaft. This means that other manufacturers D shaft 1900h clones will sit no closer than 7mm off the surface of a Make Noise panel. Note the pointer orientation on these means they are not suitable for all D-Shaft pots, see diagram below, the pointer is on the curved side of the D.

• No Minimum order
• High quality brass insert with set screw (on all types except Black D-Shaft and T18 Shaft)
• 6.4mm Shaft size
• ABS plastic moulding

THONKICONN

Thonkiconn Jack Datasheet

Thonkiconn Eagle v6 Library Part – thonkiconn.lbr

Thonkiconn Eagle v5.7+ Library Part – thonkiconn_eagle_v5.lbr

Thonkiconn (PJ301M-12) is a new vertical mount 3.5mm switching mono phone jack.

The mechanism is identical to the ‘Erthenvar’ jack type (PJ301BM), it’s primary purpose is as a direct replacement of the popular Kobiconn 3.5mm jack but with a 100% vertically integrated footprint, i.e. no perpendicular ground pin. A really great bonus of these parts is they fit neatly into breadboard/stripboard/veroboard.

All materials used are RoHS compliant.

NOTE: Please refer to the notes about the PCB HOLE in the Thonkiconn Jack Datasheet.
It is advisable to drill a 3mm hole in the PCB directly under the jack barrel centre or avoid routing traces or ground plane in that area.

 PJ301BM

Known commonly as ‘Flight of Harmony’ or ‘Erthenvar’ jacks, this popular component is a vertical mount 3.5mm switching phone jack with a threaded metal bushing.

This is the latest version of the part, redeveloped by the manufacturer in November 2012 to provide very reliable switch contacting.

Material:PBT housing, beryllium copper spring, brass curve piece.

• Temperature Range: -30 deg c~70 deg c?
• Rated Current:0.5A
• Contact Resistance:0.03 Ohm
• Rated Voltage:30V AC/DC
• Test Voltage:500V/60s
• Insulation Resistance: 100MOhm
• Insertion Force:5-20N
• Withdrawal Force:4-20N

PJ302M

The PJ302M is a  horizontal or right angled mount 3.5mm switching mono phone jack.

It can simply be converted to a non switching jack as shown below. Various euro modules use these jacks, including the 4ms RCD and SCM modules.

All materials used are RoHS compliant.

All PCB sets include the Micro SD Card slot component FREE

This is not a full kit, if you want a full kit go here.

This is the only hard to find component required for Radio Music. Note you still need to purchase an MicroSD card! The very cheap $1 type cards are not worth the trouble they will cause you, we highly recommend SanDisk MicroSD cards. Easily available from any camera or computer stores, eBay or Amazon etc.

The options available for the partial kit are:

• 4hp Eurorack Panel
• Switch (7 different button colours)
• Teensy 3.1 – Built by PJRC in the USA
• 2 x Black Davies 1900h Clone Knobs
• 2 x Alpha Vertical 50K Linear pots
• 10 x Thonkiconn jacks (this is the smallest quantity I sell)

Full project details and documentation here – http://github.com/TomWhitwell/RadioMusic/

NOTE – you need to purchase a MicroSD card and a Micro-B USB Cable elsewhere to set up this module. The Micro-B cables are the smallest type shipped with Kindles and many Android phones. You also need a card reader to write files to the SD card, many laptops and desktops already have them built in now. – Read the setup and build documentation here.

We love these pots, they feel smooth and precise and have got a strong following for a good reason. One thing that always annoyed us was that annoying little anti-rotation tag that you have to cut or break off, so unlike other distributors we got them manufactured without that tag. Also removing the nut and washer on each pot to build something like a 64 pot sequencer panel can get REALLY tedious, so again unlike other distributors we include the nut and washer bagged separately. It only save 20 seconds per pot maybe, but it adds up!

These are the exact knobs used on recent Intellijel modules. (Shapeshifter, Metropolis, Atlantis, SpringRay etc.)

They are manufactured by Sifam (in the US distributed by Selco).

Both sizes of knobs are available in 6mm D-Shaft and 6mm T18 shaft types.

The Cap comes separate from the pot body so the orientation of the pointer to the D-shaft can be set at any angle (e.g. you can choose either zero degrees or 180 degrees, which are both typical). The body and cap colours are an identical match to Intellijel colours.

These knobs are not an Intellijel product and are not sourced via Intellijel.

The panel shown below is the Cwejman RES-4 alternative panel from Grayscale.

Desoldering braid (wick) is pre-fluxed copper braid that is used to remove solder, which allows components to be replaced and excess solder to be removed.

For the fastest wicking action, rosin flux coated braid is ideal for high volume PCB production/repair environments. Effective on both lead and lead-free solders

The braid is 2.5mm wide and comes in an anti-static spool.
