Pot Knob 6mm

Plastic Pot Knob 6mm

Potentiometer Rotary Encoder Volume Voltage Control 360 Degree

     The 6mm Pot Knob is a plastic turning knob that fits on the shaft of potentiometers, encoders and similar adjusting elements with a 6mm shaft. The black body has a 15mm base diameter and a total height of 17mm; the upper grip part is about 10mm - 12mm in diameter and tapered. The outer surface of the body is knurled, so the small knob turns without slipping.

     A colored indicator line runs along one side of the knob up to the top cap. This line shows the position of the shaft when you look at the panel; the volume, voltage, speed or temperature setting can be read at a glance. Knobs in different colors are used to separate different settings on the same panel.

     The knob is fitted without a screw, by press fit: the 6mm hole with a ribbed inner surface is pushed onto the shaft of potentiometers with a knurled 6mm shaft such as the WH148. The product is sold as 1 piece; its weight is 4gr.

Key features:

     Position indicator line: The colored vertical line and colored top cap show the shaft position from the panel.

     Screwless press fit: The 6mm hole with a ribbed inner surface is pushed onto a knurled 6mm shaft; no tool is needed.

     Non-slip knurled surface: The outer surface of the tapered body is knurled; the small knob with a 15mm base turns easily by finger.

     Easy to tell apart: The indicator on the black body comes in different options; settings on the same panel are separated by the indicator color.

     Small and light: With 15mm x 17mm size and 4gr weight it fits small device panels and enclosures.

Usage information:

• First fix the potentiometer to the panel with its nut; turn the shaft fully to the left, align the indicator line of the knob with the start point of the panel scale, then push the knob straight onto the shaft.
• The knob is a tight fit on the shaft; to remove it, hold it at the base and pull it straight up, do not force it sideways.
• If the shaft is too long, shorten it so that the knob does not touch the panel and turns freely.

Application areas:

•  Amplifier and speaker volume, bass and treble controls
•  Mixer and sound card front panels
•  Guitar effect pedal control knobs
•  Adjustable power supply voltage and current controls
•  Led and lamp dimmer control
•  Motor speed control boards
•  Thermostat and temperature setting knobs
•  Soldering station and fan speed control
•  Function generator and measuring instrument panels
•  Encoder menu and setting knobs

Precautions:

•  The knob is for a 6mm diameter shaft; it does not fit a 6.35mm (1/4 inch) shaft or a thin shaft such as 4mm.
•  Because it is a screwless press fit, it sits best on a knurled shaft; it may be loose on a plain round or D-shaped shaft.
•  Do not force the potentiometer shaft sideways while fitting the knob; the shaft and the potentiometer may be damaged.
•  The product is 1 piece; order the number of knobs you need.
