    Hi Sorin. For cleaning a potentiometer or a fader a Deoxit F5 and afterwards Deoxit F100 for better contact and lubrication works often like a miracle and if the actual track is not destroyed it will fix it. Saved me many times. For any other contacts cleaning a Deoxit D5 and D100 can be used. Hopefully it will help.

    i will swap it or put the metal thing back just because maybe sometimes you need low current and by mistake you will push 5 amps when trying to go to the lowest current point SO yes i will swap it

    I was recommended zippo lighter fluid to clean potentiometers.
    I was told to just apply on them, and it will sock in, and clean it while you simple rotate it.
    I was sceptical because it is flammable liquid, but it had worked on many instances with no issues.

    You need potentiometer 10K. B mark should be linear resistance change of resistance when you turn the angle. You can see this mark on front side of part.

      Indeed, the carbon track will get dirty quickly again. Also the cap is pulling everything together so contact runner will put some more pressure on it.

  • @traditionaltools5080
    @traditionaltools5080 Рік тому +3

    Uh, those pots have a small cutout on the side. Spray deoxit or contact cleaner in and rotate for 30 seconds. Super easy. Then you can measure them to make sure they dont have dead spots. That can also be an issue, but you need an analog Ohm meter.

    Nobody is going to teach the following companies how to build:
    a) a DMM (digital multimeter) to Fluke
    b) a oscilloscope to Tektronix
    c) a soldering station to Weller ...
    Analogously to Allen Bradley (founded in 1903) and Clarostat (today Honeywell founded in 1906) how to make potentiometers.
    Allen Bradley sold its commercial components division to Adafruit (which builds the original Hakko soldering stations). Another way of saying it; in mouser write: adafruit 10K potentiometers and choose the linear type, very economical by the way. All the best.

    I replaced the fan on my unit with 12v noctua fan that has a good airflow but since the original fan runs at 24v (27v measured) and since i don't have a buck converter i just placed a 12v dc adapter (rectangular shape) to power the fan inside the unit secure it with a double sided tape and connected it to the mains of the psu switch now the psu is very quiet

  • @Agent24Electronics
    @Agent24Electronics Рік тому +1

    Nice fix but I wouldn't recommend you use it like that where it can turn around freely... if you have it set to a very low current to protect your circuit, and accidentally slip or go a little further, suddenly you get the full 5 amps into whatever you have connected...
    I agree with other commenters, the potentiometer is probably worn out from a lot of use, better to replace it with a higher quality one.

    You can get a bit more Amps when you remove the stop, so the potentiometer turns a bit more.
    But is it good to have the wipers go out over the metal?
    Maybe the wipers will be damaged and then the carbon tracks will be damaged as well?
    Maybe?

    I've a couple MLINK DPS3005 (same as KORAD KD3005D and RS RS3005D but much cheaper) and those use two rotary encoders and the settings can be locked.
    I bought them 4 years ago for €40 each, now they cost €60.50 in Spain... I've no idea if those are available in other countries.
    Note: The MLINK DPS3005 It's not the same as the generic DPS3005 buck converter module with LCD screen or DPS3005 power supplies from another manufacturers that are the same as the one in this video.

    Ideal e sa skimbi acel POT de 2K cu unul nou. Dar daca tot il tii pe ala vechi, eu sugerez sa lipesti cu prelandez ori cu superglue o bucatica mica de chibrit pe locul unde era stopul de pe carcasa de metal care ai scos-o. O lipesti de textolit, direct pe pinul din mijloc. Crede-ma o sa tina ok si o sa fie ca inainte. Ia si incearca si o sa-mi multumesti dupa.

    I have a power supply where I've cut the fan wire and connected a bimetal switch set to around 50°C in between.
    The switch is now sitting between the fins of the worst ventilated part's heatsink.
    And so... when the hottest part gets warm, only then does the fan get power.
    When I am just messing around, everything is silent.
    When I charge batteries I don't have to think about turning on the fan. It just happens.
