Your best choice to find replacement is contact Thrustmaster support.

 

The original model is CTS251B15F104B2NB

 

Or contact CTS

 

The case is that potentiometer for joystick has a exclusive electric travel (30~60 degrees), and you don't find then for buy in electronics shops (Digikey, Mouser).

 

Always there's the option to do DIY HALL sensor assembly or buy MilesD read to use kits:

Edit - find CTS 251 series datasheet:

 

http://www.ctscorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Series-251.pdf

 

CTS251B15F104B2NB

 

Value is 100k (104)

 

Effective electrical angle - the number 2 before NB - is not listed, probable between 40 and 60 degrees, made under order for Thrustmaster.

Potmeters

 

Sir:

 

I have two sets for the Cougar stick and one set for the TQS.

 

I removed them to install Miles' magnetic sensors in one stick and one to install the UB2NXT by Ian Johnson out of Australia .

 

Go with Miles' items they are worth the price.

Are there another potmeters that i can use for it? instead of the Standard CTS?

 

Problem #1 - find a pot with same axis length, diameter, D recess position, same case size (LxWxH).

 

Problem #2 - find a pot with above characteristic with 40~60 degrees of electrical travel - normally find only in "joystick potentiometer".

 

Possible source of suitable pot' - micro-stick PS3 like, need unsolder.

 

Have you heard of... HALL sensor? :D

And if use adhesive tap for increase the pot axis diameter, the difference is ~1mm.?

 

Similar to what done there: http://cougar.flyfoxy.com/images/cougar/Hall_and_OEM_pot.jpg

 

The diameter is to small the whole won't turn the pin.. 1mm diff

 

I'll think I'm gonna contact milesd
