Good one Gary- I had gotten some of the short Amphenol lugs and just threw them into the parts drawers after discovering that they're too short...
Now I know what to do with them!!

Re: Pot grounding buss lugs
Here's a side-by-side comparison of the Ampwares (bless their poor departed soul) ground bus and the Amphenol 31-759.
The Amphenol stock is slightly narrower, but about .25 mm thicker. There is no hole in either end of the tabs on the Amphenol, but they are tinned. It may be better without the hole. A notch is actually easier to work with, as I believe my partner-in-crime, Ron Worley, has previously mentioned
Digi-Key has the best price at $0.33 each per 100.

Au contraire, mon ami, thanks to Aurora for finding them. That's been one of the most elusive items discussed on this forumstevek66 wrote: ... Thanks for the pic...
Next time we can't find something, I suggest we get Aurora to go through the Digi-Key, Mouser, and Aliied catalogs page by page until he finds it

Re: Pot grounding buss lugs
OK, here's something I'd LOVE to find. The "beauty washers" for switches. Angela.com has them for WAAAAY too much $$ - $1.99 each! The washers for pots are usually included with the pot, but I cannot find the plain washers for switches anywhere but at Angela.com.
http://www.angela.com/catalog/connector ... ctors.html
and scan for "beauty washers".
I found an Eaton part number (don't have it handy), but could not find it for sale anywhere online.

Wife: How many amps do you need?
Me: Just one more...

Re: Pot grounding buss lugs
Beauty Washers...eh??? No problem!!!
( and - there are actually washers for BNCs that should fit! - But I've never seen them listed separately....)
Seriously though, -that's a totally ridiculous price for that tiny piece of metal! As for the BNC lugs, - I work in instrumentation and RF, and God only may possibly know how many BNCs and other coaxials I've handled over my 33 years in business. For the time being I'm way up north on a project, and right now there's not much else to do but hang around passing time...but sometimes Internet catalogues really suck, especially for small accessory parts like this.
I'll most certainly keep it in mind, when I get back home to my regular catalogues.
Always at your service, gentlemen!

LOL - pull up the Angela page I posted earlier, and scan (not search) the page for "beauty" - you'll see it on that page right away.
