SparkFun PRT-00341 Mk03

SparkFun PRT-00341 Mk04

SparkFun PRT-00341 Mk05

SparkFun: PRT-00341

Description: These are very slim, extremely light weight batteries based on the new Polymer Lithium Ion chemistry. This is the highest energy density currently in production. Each cells outputs a nominal 3.7V at 850mAh! Comes terminated with a standard 2-pin JST-PH connector – 2mm spacing between pins. These batteries require special charging. Do not attempt to charge these with anything but a specialized LiPo charger.

Battery includes built-in protection against over voltage, over current, and minimum voltage. Please use caution when using this battery in wearable projects. When using conductive thread, a short in the thread can create sparks and heat. We recommend using coin cell batteries for beginners.

Note: Although these cells are rated for 2C continuous discharge, the wiring and connectors are only rated up to 1A, so be sure to take that into account when determining your power requirements.

Note: Be careful with the JST connectors. They can stick in pretty good and tugging on them can damage the connector.

Dimensions: 5.7×29.5×48.27mm

Weight: 18.5g

Features:

  • 2C continuous discharge
  • Excellent long-term self-discharge rates (<8% per month)
  • Robust power source under extreme conditions (-25 to 60C)

Adafruit – Potentiometer Knob – Soft Touch T18 – Blue

Adafruit 2048 Mk02

Adafruit 2048 Mk03

Adafruit 2046 Mk04

Adafruit 2046 Mk05

Adafruit: 2048

Description

Oh say can you see
By the knob’s early light…

Sorry – we thought that was clever. And while it wasn’t really, this potentiometer knob definitely is. It’s a ‘soft touch’ T18 knob that works great with our Panel Mount 10K, Panel Mount 1K, and Panel Mount 100K potentiometers. The knob is designed to set directly on the potentiometer’s ridges so it’s an easy & secure fit. It has a nice feel, with a rubbery grip, tweaking it is quite fulfilling.

This is the blue version and it has a nice deep color on the inside with a striking blue line on the outside for great visibility with whatever you’re making. We also carry it in white and red if you’re looking for a variety of colors.

Technical Details

  • Diameter of the top: 11mm / 0.4″
  • Diameter of the base: 15mm / 0.6″
  • Weight: 1g
  • Colour: Blue
