Ah. I had a similar thing only I needed something that does not show on the 50 series datasheet, but they do offer. Actually 2 things. 500 ohm CP cups and dual concentric shaft. Weird how they operate.

Probably would be more than $5 but a moot point. FWIW, I spent nearly 2 months getting set up as a direct account with Bourns. After the worst business experience in my over two decades of running my own business(es), I found it much easier to just stay with distribution. The entire hierarchy of the way that level of buying is handled is absurd. The Midwest factory rep (who I had to deal with) was a total nightmare. I was lied to over and over about small things. The last thing was she actually told me my account was denied. When I called my contact at the factory, they had no clue what she was talking about or why she would say that! It ended with me telling the factory, if I had to deal with this rep, I wanted no part of a direct account. Sorry for the rant. Brings back bad memories.

If I wasn't so happy with their product, I would have been long gone from them.

Make sure you talk to Paul. He is a top notch guy.

Cheers, Jeff

[QUOTE="jsteiger, post: 565785, member: 18377"] Ah. I had a similar thing only I needed something that does not show on the 50 series datasheet, but they do offer. Actually 2 things. 500 ohm CP cups and dual concentric shaft. Weird how they operate. Probably would be more than $5 but a moot point. FWIW, I spent nearly 2 months getting set up as a direct account with Bourns. After the worst business experience in my over two decades of running my own business(es), I found it much easier to just stay with distribution. The entire hierarchy of the way that level of buying is handled is absurd. The Midwest factory rep (who I [u]had[/u] to deal with) was a total nightmare. I was lied to over and over about small things. The last thing was she actually told me my account was denied. When I called my contact at the factory, they had no clue what she was talking about or why she would say that! It ended with me telling the factory, if I had to deal with this rep, I wanted no part of a direct account. Sorry for the rant. :( Brings back bad memories. If I wasn't so happy with their product, I would have been long gone from them. Make sure you talk to Paul. He is a top notch guy. Cheers, Jeff [/QUOTE]
