Supergun Pots for RGB, 500 ohm?

Also is it 1/4 watt?

I ran into a problem I drilled the holes a hair too close together, so on the inside of the gun all 3 cant fit together.

I'm using the pots that are about 7/8" wide, are there smaller panel mount pots?

You would want 500 Ohm, not 500K.

The 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, etc watt rating is just a measurement of the heat dissipating capability of the resistor. 1/4 watt is fine for this sort of thing.

These are the ones I use from Mouser: 31CN205-F - they should have the specs of the part so that you can check the measurements.

Thanks Jeff, those are the ones I was just looking at. They look small enough for me.

Yeah I once accidentally got 500k pots. Shit got dark in a hurry.
