Bourns PDB Series Guitar Potentiometers come with options for split knurled or plain shafts and feature a DPDT push-pull switch. These potentiometers use a metal bushing and shaft with a carbon element and offer both linear and audio taper options. The resistance ranges from 10KΩ to 1MΩ with a ±20% tolerance and operate within -10°C to +50°C. The maximum operating voltage is 200V for linear and 150V for audio. The potentiometers feature a mechanical angle of 300° ±5°, a rotational torque of 30g-cm to 100g-cm, and a rotational life of 15000 cycles. The DPDT switch has a power rating of 0.3A at 30VDC and has a lifespan of 15000 cycles. The PDB series guitar potentiometers are used in musical instrument electronics, particularly for adjusting volume and tone in guitars.
