Hi,

The place I was buying my 5 pin potentiometers has run out. I phoned
a couple of places, but they need part numbers (which I don't have and
can't get from the store - they must know that I am outsourcing and
there is nothing listed on the part). When I asked for a 1K
potentiometer with 5 pints on the phone to Mouser and
http://www.potentiometers.com
, it was like asking if they had seen a unicorn, so I am wondering if
these are rare. They told me they have lots of 3 pin, but not 5 pin.

Any ideas or places to purchase?

Thanks in advance.

Here is what is the potentiometer looks like:

I know it might not be enough to go on, but maybe someone can point me
in the right direction.

This is the pot you are using with your LED dimmer project, right ? It's a
1k rotary pot with single pole switch, and a linear taper. You could also
use a similar pot with double pole switch (total 7 pins). Both are readily
available items. Can you not search say Mouser's website using "pot with
switch" as the search string ? I would have thought that would have turned
up whatever range they have.

In fact, I just went and did this. Mouser have 311-1600-1k at $0.97 which
fits the bill, and Digikey have CT2224-ND at $3.48. Rather more expensive,
but rather a better (constructed and rated) pot ...

I'm sure a few minutes spent making friends with Google, would turn up many
more examples.
