This nickel-plated steel adapter sleeve converts a 4mm shaft potentiometer to 6mm shaft, allowing for 6mm knobs to be used on a wider range of potentiometers. An additional 6mm to 6.35mm adapter R-VADAPT-25 can then be used to fit 1/4” knobs (sold seperately).

Dual Operational Amplifier. The NJM4558 (JRC4558) integrated circuit is a dual high-gain operational amplifier internally compensated and constructed on a single silicon chip using an advanced epitaxial process. Combining the features of the NJM741 with the close parameter matching and tracking of a dual device on a monolithic chip results in unique performance characteristics. Excellent channel separation allows the use of the dual device in single NJM741 operational amplifier applications providing density. It is especially well suited for applications in differential-in, differential-out as well as in potentiometric amplifiers and where gain and phase matched channels are mandatory. Features:

• Operating Voltage (±4V~±18V)
• High Voltage Gain (100dB typ.)
• High Input Resistance (5MΩ typ.)
• Bipolar Technology

CD4071B OR gates provide the system designer with direct implementation of the positive-logic OR function and supplement the existing family of CMOS gates. Features:

• Medium-Speed Operation - tPLH, tPHL = 60 ns (typ.) at VDD = 10 V
• 100% tested for quiescent current at 20 V
• Maximum input current of 1 µA at 18 V over full package-temperature range; 100 nA at 18 V and 25°C
• Standardized, symmetrical output characteristics
• Noise margin (full package-temperature range):
  
  • 1 V at VDD = 5 V
  • 2 V at VDD = 10 V
  • 2.5 V at VDD = 15 V
• 5-V, 10-V, and 15-V parametric ratings
• Meets all requirements of JEDEC Tentative Standard No. 13B, "Standard Specifications for Description of ’B’ Series CMOS Devices"

Prewired cone-shaped LED bezel. An internal current limiting resistor is installed in this bezel and it can be used with voltages up to 12VDC. Mounting nut and lock washer included.

PCB for converting SMD SOIC-8 packages to through hole DIP-8 footprints. Solder the device to this PCB then attach pin headers (sold seperately) to connect to through hole footprints on PCBs, breadboards and IC sockets.

Single row of 5 U-style terminals on a black board. The U-style terminal strips are spaced 8.3mm apart allowing for more densely populated point-to-point builds. The boards are 0.063” thick.

Small plastic control knob with set screw and metal insert. This knob has a pinched grip similar to the Davies 1510 but features a smaller diameter and scooped cutout for a distinctive appearance. Fits ¼” (6.35mm) pot shafts.

Keep your pedals pristine with these 100% cotton bags. These drawstring bags are 5 in. x 8 in. and fit stompbox sizes up to 1590BB. Cloth pedal bags are also great packaging for boutique pedal builders.

Lens Diameter: 3 mm Overall Height: 5.4 mm Lens Type: Diffused Multiple color options available.

Dome shaped rubber feet with an embedded 6-32 machine screw. These feet have a 0.4375 inch diameter and have a 0.25 inch screw length. The embedded screw provides a sleek appearance. These are great feet and can also be used as bumpers.

High quality chassis hole covers for a wide variety of hole sizes. These covers use tapered tabs that easily snap into the hole to securely hold the cover in place. If a more permanent solution is required, the metal tabs can be bent outward after installing to secure the hole cover to the chassis. These nickel plated covers are a great way to modify an existing chassis or cover up mistakes. This list shows some common hole sizes for a variety of parts used on amplifiers, pedals and other equipment.

High brightness 3mm LED. Great for use in pedal builds and other applications where a bold, bright, indicator is needed. Multiple colors available.

• 3mm size
• Water clear
• High brightness
• Multiple colors available
• Package of 5

2SC945 NPN transistors. This is a silicon NPN transistor in a TO-92 package. The 2SC945 was used in many classic Boss pedals such as the CE-2 chorus.

Small plastic knobs with set screw and brass insert. Similar to the small knobs used on many Dunlop / MXR pedals. These knobs have a fluted grip with an indicator line as well as a dot indicator on the skirt. Fits ¼” (6.35mm) pot shafts.

Plastic control knob with set screw and brass insert. This knob features a distinctive fluting similar to the popular Philmore 3010 knob. This style is also similar to the small skirted MXR knobs. Fits ¼” (6.35mm) pot shafts.

AML387 incandescent light bulb, T-1 3/4 midget flanged, miniature lamp. Great replacement for Morley.

The P-K380 is a high quality Davies 1510 clone. This classic design can be found on countless pedals, synths, amps and other equipment. The set screw uses a metal insert for additional stability and durability. This knob has an infilled painted indicator and fits 1/4" (6.35mm) pot shafts. The P-K380 pairs nicely with the color matched P-K801-BRASS-X knobs.

Four conductor Flexstrip ribbons cables. These ribbons feature a nomex insulator so there are no melting issues when soldering. Unlike typical ribbon cables, the wires are designed to distribute the stress of the bend and vibrations throughout the entire cable rather than directly on the solder joints. These cables are a great choice for PCB to PCB connections in pedals, synths, and other electronics. The spacing is .1" (2.54mm).

The CD4052B analog multiplexers are digitally-controlled analog switches having low ON impedance and very low OFF leakage current.

Adhesive backed standoff with M3 threading. The high-strength adhesive tape allows the standoff to be securely mounted, providing an easy option for mounting PCBs in enclosures. These standoffs use a captive metal nut in a strong nylon plastic base for a durable and lightweight solution.
