Potentiometer - Push-Lock (10K)
This is the same type of potentiometer you might find on some car stereos. This is a simple 10K potentiometer with a push-lock mechanism. Simply pressing the shaft in will lock it into retracted position and pressing it a second time will make it pop back out. Mounted correctly, these potentiometers can be adjusted and then recessed into the panel to avoid accidental adjustment.
- Max Operating Voltage : 50VAC, 10VDC
- Total Rotational Angle : 300 degrees
- Flat Shaft
- 25mm Shaft Length
- 9mm Total Travel (8mm Lock Travel)

its linear or logarithmic?
Awwww... No DPDT switch on the shaft?
An alternate version with a DPDT switch would be nice, however "these potentiometers can be adjusted and then recessed into the panel to avoid accidental adjustment."
So the pot works whether it is pressed in or out? Like I could use this for fine/coarse adj, reading the switch value?
i just got one. the pot works both pressed in and out.
They do specifically call it a 'locking mechanism', so possibly not.
Regardless, though, the exact model is the RK097111T065. If you look that one up in the datasheet (page 3 of PDF, 352 of catalog), you'll see that they note drawing #10 for reference. Browse down to that (page 6/355) and missing from the schematic is an actual switch. Unlike, say, the model referenced in drawing #5.
So I'm inclined to believe that there is no switch state for you to read.
Awesome, these can be great for usability. I look forward to trying them.
