    Default Potentiometer with indexing.

    Hi everyone.
    Has anyone ever seen a potentiometer with index stops around its rotation. By that I mean a 10 position rotary switch type action with the click stops, but with a variable resistor in stead of the switch contacts. It seems to me that it would be easier to work with rather than having to connect all the switch contacts to something.

    Mouser - http://www.mouser.com has some pots with 11 'detents'. 313-3000-1K (linear 1K), 313-4000-1K (audio 1K) - other values available.

    Tolerance of resistance 20-30%, and you'll not get a presice, repeatable resistance change for each step.

    Oh, WOW
    That's a great site.
    They have some damn interesting gear.
    That pot looks like EXACTLY what I'm looking for.
    Thank you SO much.
