Hi,
The place I was buying my 5 pin potentiometers has run out. I phoned
a couple of places, but they need part numbers (which I don't have and
can't get from the store - they must know that I am outsourcing and
there is nothing listed on the part). When I asked for a 1K
potentiometer with 5 pints on the phone to Mouser and http://www.potentiometers.com
, it was like asking if they had seen a unicorn, so I am wondering if
these are rare. They told me they have lots of 3 pin, but not 5 pin.
Any ideas or places to purchase?
Thanks in advance.
Here is what is the potentiometer looks like:

So what do the extra 2 pins do ?
Are they taps ? How do you use them in your circuit ?
