Question about Logitech potentiometer

Botea Florin · May 29, 2013

Hello, i saw this logitech potentiometer on you'r website and i need to find out where to get this part, or atleast how it is called. I need to replace it in my steering wheel. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pc-racing,470-2.html

I'm assuming here you are adept at soldering/desoldering. First remove the existing potentiometer then you can attempt to match up the model number on one of these sites http://www.mouser.com/Passive-Components/PotentiometersTrimmers-Rheostats/Potentiometers/_/N-9q0yp/ or http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/potentiometers-variable-resistors/rotary-potentiometers-linear/262965 I linked linear types because I would assume (may not be though) that is the type used in a steering wheel. As you can see, there are a lot of options

This is the actual one..yeah i kinda "tweaked" and glued something so the pot won't move with the wheel..but now it's worn out. So could you suggest me what pot i should look for?

That's a toughie, but I believe this is it http://www.digikey.com/scripts/dksearch/dksus.dll?pv300=441&k=momo+force+repair&mnonly=0&newproducts=0&ColumnSort=0&page=1&quantity=0&ptm=0&fid=0&pageSize=25 you might call Digikey and find out if that is the proper kit for your wheel. In stock, $16.28

Is what you're calling the potentiometer what the main wheel is turning? If so, I don't think it's a potentiometer. It may be a rotary switch.

Doramius :

Yes, that's it. I also found it's called a Rotary potentiometer F-Shaft. But still need the details, or atleast can somebody explain to me what does that values mean?

Doramius · May 30, 2013

do you have, or have access to, a digital or analog ohm-meter? might be able to grab values from the old one. if we get proper values, I can understand the markings better.

C12Friedman · May 30, 2013

... or you could call digitkey and ask, as I suggested since that does appear to be the proper repair kit to me

Botea Florin · May 31, 2013

Yeah, i will check the values when i get the ohm-meter.. and write them here.
