Apologies - my mistake - I wasn't paying sufficient attention when Google decided that this was a perfect match when searching for 300SP-1-502:

http://uk.farnell.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?st=3400s&catalogId=15001&categoryId=700000005471&langId=44&storeId=10151

But £180.27 each whereas Newark, the US arm of Farnell only want $120 or approx £80 for the same part! Are there really that many Brits who put up with being ripped-off to these levels?

I had to look it up. The company was Arrow (800 833 3557). The pots were manufactured by Bournes with a manufacturer part number of 300SP-1-502. Unit cost $7.73 in 2011. I bought 26 so my cost was about $200. I wanted a "Manufactured in America" part but can't remember if that was too pricey or not.

They are now $92.55 from Arrow now and Farnell want over $200 each if you buy 25 or more!!!! There don't seem to be any obvious cheap alternatives for 10 turn 20ppm/C 5W pots.

The original pots were Bunker Ramo-Eltra (later, Bunker Ramo-Amphenol) P/N 3800P-502. These were 20-turn, 5k, 10%, 1W, +/-50 ppm/C wirewound parts in the 34b rectangular package. The Bourns 3005P-1-502 matches these specifications (I suspect "300SP" in Charles's message was a typo). I do not know if the pin layout is the same as the 3800P-502. Verical has the lowest price on the 3005P-1-502 that I could find in a quick search, $7.68 each. Others charge from $9 to $14.

Tony -- what part number were you quoting specs and prices for? I found nothing searching for "300SP-1-502."

Best regards,

Charles
