I've been looking for a 50K pot that only rotates 45 degrees and can't find one anywhere! It's being used as a voltage divider so simply using a larger pot value and turning it less will not work. Anyone know a supplier? Can I modify a pot somehow?
Will the pot be mounted on a panel or open on top of a board? Can't you use a fixed resistor for the minimum and combine it different value pot to adjust only the usable range? Maybe a digital pot would work for you.
