Roland MC505 Potentiometer Part Mixer

1 pcs. Roland MC505 Potentiometer Part Mixer

Drop In Potentiometer for Section Part Mixer in Ronad MC-505. 

The lever must be shortened by 5 mm so that it fits in the Roland MC505. This can be done quite easily with a side cutter. Best to be done before soldering.

This Fader with the labelling EWANKEC10B14 is no longer available from manufacturer Panasonic because the pot is not longer produced by them. We offer here a slide potentiometer with the same technical performance as the original part.

Electrical properties:

The nominal resistance has 10 KOhm, the electric resistance gradient is linear. The potentiometer is construed for a power of 0,06 Watt.

Appearance (technical characterisation):

This slide potentiometer has been built in in the past in many instruments and audio equipements. The particular embodiment of this potentiometer is the arrangement of the solder contact pins, which today are no longer usual. In total eight solder contact pins are laterally ordered to a group of four pins at the top and the end of the slide potentiometer. On both sides the solder pins are staggered in reverse order. Because of this arrangement the volume control fits only in a specific mounting position.

The slide potentiometer has a travel of 30 mm. Its metallic casing measures 45 x 8 mm, the height without lever is 7 mm. The lever is made of metall and ends in corner radius. Its height is 10 mm, the breadth is 5 mm and its depth is 2 mm. The eight solder contact pins are 0,8 mm wide (one of them) and they are arranged in a distance of 3 mm. The bented pins are necessary for the electrical function.

In medium range of the casing the metallic edge-socket connector is mounted. By these connectors the slide potentiometer will be fixed mechanically.

Useful hint:

The potetniometer is soldered on the circuit board. You should have mechanical skills and experience in soldering to replace it.
