The Eurorack Power Breakout is a simple and effective way to get a Eurorack power supply connected to your breadboard. The EPB has footprints for a shrouded header, reverse polarity protection diodes, power filtering capacitors, an onboard voltage regulator, and 4 x switched 3.5mm audio jacks. All of your basic power needs are broken out to a single row male header that plugs directly into your breadboard. In addition to power, the 3.5mm audio jacks allow you to easily patch in and out of your breadboard and connect your homemade circuit to your pre existing Eurorack modules. Say goodbye to nasty alligator clips and sloppy home-brew solutions that constantly pop in and out, we’ve got you covered.

Shaft Diameter – 6.35mm (0.25″)

Shaft Length – 15mm (0.59″)

These are the pots that are included with 95% of all Thonk produced kits and specced by many manufacturers. These pots work great with all the 6.35mm round shaft knobs we sell.

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 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.

The Clee 4U boat is an enclosure for mounting individual modules conforming to the Loudest Warning 4U format. The enclosure is 16 gauge steel powder-coated semi gloss black

The Boat has tapped holes (M2.5) at 1″ spacing along the top and bottom face, and ships with a (passive) power distribution PCB to attach along the bottom edge. The PCB has 16 possible connections, allowing for short wiring runs from the module to the distro board wherever they’re placed in the enclosure. There is also a pre-drilled hole in the back of the case for routing power through.

Note: Power Distribution is supplied as a PCB only and not a full kit.

Power Distro Build Guide
Power Distro BOM

Overall dimensions: 17″ wide – 7″ tall – 3″deep (external dimensions)

Matching rack ears are optionally available – The mounting holes for these are pre-drilled into the boat, with screws and nuts to attach the rack ears provided.

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. We also have the new COLLET type in Large only, which works on 6.35 round pot shafts (such as our Alpha range).

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.

These are the same style micro knobs that can be found on a range of Befaco products. They are strictly designed for T18 Shaft (Doepfer style) Potentiometers.

Warning: Fit on proper T18 pots only. While it’s tempting to fit onto the Song Huei Tall Trimmer Pots – they are extremely hard to remove again from tall trimmer pots and it’s very easy to damage your pots or module in the process. You will also likely not be able to remove your module front panel with these fitted onto Tall Trimmers Pots.

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

PJ301CM

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.

Kobiconn Jacks (16PJ138) are provided for legacy Eurorack DIY projects only, we do not currently stock any projects which favour these jacks over the Thonkiconn.

They were popular before the PJ301BM and Thonkiconn eventually dominated the Euro DIY scene. We do not recommend the use of these jacks for new products and we don’t guarentee their ongoing supply.

Each Jack comes with a knurled nut already on the shaft.

These PT range knobs are made in the USA by Rogan, they are not official Mutable Instruments or Make Noise products, but are the same style from the same factory..

• PT-1PS: small white pointer knob (all knobs on Branches, Shades, Shelves, Streams, etc)
• PT-2S: medium black encoder knob, no pointer (medium, i.e. Braids encoder knob)
• PT-2PS (D-shaft): medium white pointer knob (i.e. Braids knobs, Frames top row, etc)
• PT-3PS: large white pointer knob (i.e. big knobs on Clouds, Elements, Tides, etc)
• PT-6PS: Extra large white pointer knob (i.e. same size as largest knobs on Frames, Warps etc)

Refer to the Rogan data sheet Rogan to check dimensions and other information.

Please NOTE: You remove existing knobs from your modules at your own risk, don’t force them! Also please check what shaft types you need first BEFORE ordering. Module manufacturers do not always consistently use a certain shaft type, they may change between D or T18 for example. Note that T18 knobs do not fit on 6.35mm round shaft pots.

NEW! X-Large 6PS knobs!

As seen on Warps and Frames.

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 6mm shafts such as Doepfer, Elby etc. These are pure plastic, not brass inserted.
• Black (D) – 6mm shaft D knob 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

PCB Only – We cannot provide programmed chips or parts or enclosures.

Full information on the this unit is here. Note that neither Thonk or Mutable Instruments provide formal build support for this project, but there is a thread on Muffwiggler for community support here… and on the Mutable Instruments forum here.

Several problems werefaced during the development of the Mutable Instruments Eurorack modules, the module tester solves these.

• How to power and test a module during development? Bench-top power supplies are cumbersome (especially for projects requiring 3 supply rails) and standard test equipment is sometimes useless or frustrating for quantities like musical notes or V/Oct scales. On the other extreme of the scale, who would run the risk of putting a half-built prototype in a rack loaded with thousands of euros worth of modules?
• What kind of setup to use for factory testing?
• How to take a project away from the lab without carrying heaps of “dependencies”?

These RB range knobs are made in the USA by Rogan and have been frequently used by Verbos Electronics as well as on Buchla systems. They feel great to touch, and look fantastic on all types of panels. These 6.35mm knobs are made with ABS plastic with a matte finish, and will fit perfectly on our Alpha 9mm Pots.

Note: these knobs use bushings and set screw(s) – they require a small hex-key rather than a screwdriver to tighten them.
