CTS 137 potentiometer data sheet?

[peps1]

Anyone got a copy of the CTS 137 potentiometer data sheet.......really need to know the pitch/lug spacing.

[peps1]

The pitch is 5.97mm/ .235"

which series?

137 refers to the mfgr code, CTS

you can find your series here:

http://www.ctscorp.com/components/potentiometers.htm


then, each series has a pdf doc you can download, for example the 450 series, which is the regular size pot like fender guitars used for many years

CTS Series 450   

was looking for the long legged 90° 450 used in vintage EH, DOD and MXR

I think Small Bear sells a pot for those, but probably not CTS.  I'll bet that the CTS version was an OEM pot that the companies had made specifically for them, and not a commonly available pot.

He's interested in the pot lead spacing to map out and duplicate a scale replica of the 70's DOD 250 circuit board layout. The 16mm Alpha angled mount pots (like I'm using) will work but their lead spacing (converted from mm) is 0.2" apart and from shaft centerline they are 0.63" away.

OK, so he wants to make his board with the spacing of the available Alpha pot, not the original CTS version (if it had different spacing), correct?.

I'm not sure. I'm assuming now that he wants the exact spacing that the original had. I guess unless you can find some actual CTS pots from the era you could just wire up regular lugs if you had to.

Was looking for the original spacing used on the DOD250 board (5.97mm according to CTS same as Series 450) used 5.97mm as with this spacing you could use the available, and can easily re drill for a alfa 5mm pitch, or use jumpers on the pads for random pitches.
