OMEG POTENTIOMETER CODING
The code given to our potentiometers is explained on this page and covers both unswitched and switch potentiometers. Please note that not all options are available on all models.
A unique code, or part number, that specifies all the parameters of the potentiometer is not used due to the nature of our business, please return to your previous page where you will find links to an enquiry form for your use.
The format is POTENTIOMETER CODE (/SWITCH CODE) where the switch code is only added if appropriate.
POTENTIOMETER CODE
The potentiometer code is in three parts:
- Potentiometer terminals
- BR - Bracket and printed circuit
- FN - Faston (or spade)
- LA - Long bent and away from the spindle
- LT - Long bent and towards the spindle
- OW - Ordinary wiring (eyelets) - recommended for hand soldering of wires
- PC - Printed circuit
- XA - Extra long, bent away from the spindle (mainly used with switches)
- Potentiometer quantity and style
- 16 - Single, 16mm size
- 20 - Single, 20mm size
- 2C16 - Dual (stereo) with inner and outer spindles, 16mm size
- 2C20 - Dual (stereo) with inner and outer spindles, 20mm size
- 2G16 - Dual (stereo) with one spindle, 16mm size
- 2G20 - Dual (stereo) with one spindle, 20mm size
- 3C20 - Triple (three gang) with inner and outer spindles, 20mm size
- 3G16 - Triple (three gang) with one spindle, 16mm size
- 3G20 - Triple (three gang) with one spindle, 20mm size
- 4G16 - Quadruple (four gang) with one spindle, 16mm size
- 4G20 - Quadruple (four gang) with one spindle, 20mm size
- Potentiometer fixing
- BU - Bush
- ECO - Plastic bush housing (exclusive to the E16 potentiometer)
- SP - Plate without tags
- ST - Plate with tags
- TT - Plate with twist tabs
Note: A bracket fixing is an additional item and defined in the 'Potentiometer
terminals' section above.
SWITCH CODE
The switch code is dependent on the switch body that is fitted and will be preceded with a slash (/).
