PLESSEY 500K OHM 2W CARBON VINTAGE POTENTIOMETER fd5g2

Standard Plessey pots were used in many high end audio applications, these mil-spec versions are even better !

We took one to pieces to see how they are constructed, and they are superb. A wide carbon track laid down on a really thick moulded bakelite body. The wiper is a 3mm carbon block in a beryllium copper mount which ensures low noise and long life. Connections are heavy solder eye tags.

Body dimensions are 30mm diameter x 15mm deep, plus the shaft which has a 8mm diameter threaded through panel part which is 10mm in length, plus the control spindle which is 20mm long and the standard 6.3mm (1/4") in diameter. Electrical rotation is 280 degrees and mechanical is 316.
