RK27 Breakout PCB
This pc board is a perfect solution for helping prevent heat and mechanical damage to the potentiometer. The board provides either screw down wire clamps and direct soldier of the wires to the pcb,
The terminal PCB for the ALPS 271 (blue velvet) really saved me a couple of hours work. Really great service! Was able to get the part over the weekend by USPS...like 3 or 4 days max. Thanks!
I used this breakout PCB while installing an Alps RK27 potentiometer in my Bottlehead Crack headphone amplifier, and it made the job much cleaner and easier. The RK27 pins aren't ideal for directly soldering wires, and this little board solves that problem perfectly.
The PCB is well laid out, clearly labeled, and makes wiring straightforward while providing a much more secure and professional-looking installation. It also reduces stress on the potentiometer terminals, which is a nice bonus for long-term reliability.
For only a few dollars, it's one of those small parts that makes a big difference. I would definitely recommend it to anyone building or upgrading a Bottlehead Crack, tube amplifier, or any DIY audio project using an Alps RK27.
Highly recommended!
Product was exceptionally high quality and perfectly manufactured. It made the installation of the volume control quick, easy and professional looking! Well done!
This small pcb has worked perfectly in my tube amp kit project, allowing me to replace a very low quality volume potentiometer with a proper unit from Alps. Provided for a very clean installation. Thank you for having this available.
This is a very simple idea - a breakout PCB for Alps RK27 pots - but this item does the job more cleanly and perfectly than any other solution I've seen. Feels and looks high quality, easy to read, and is compact enough to not take up much more room in your chassis than the pot itself. Wish I had ordered more while it was in stock!
This simple boards makes connection much safer for the volume pot. Recommended.
It's a well made PCB, offered at a fair price and, to my knowledge, made in the U.S.A.
Soldering the pcb to the Alps pot is super easy. It actually made point to point wiring a lot easier. The soldering holes are a bit smaller than I'd like though so if you have thick wires I'd be careful.
This board is a brilliant idea and is well done. It's so easy to independently panel mount the ALPS pot with this board.
Nice little pcb that makes soldering to the ALPS-pot easy! Very recommended!
