Cougar Mini-Stick Component Discontinued
-
I am determined to keep my FSSB modified Cougar functioning as long as possible. While investigating replacement parts, I discovered that CTS Electronics (Taiwan) has discontinued manufacture of the throttle mini-joystick. Distributor of the part is Digi-Key Corporation and I think their part number is 252A104B60NB-ND. when current stocks are depleted, the part will no longer be available.

Why don’t you ask the part to Thrustmaster?. Some months ago I ordered a couple from them. They have stock.

Seems like getting a few replacements would not be a bad idea. Didn’t know digikey made them, thats cool to know.

I called Digi-Key and ordered 10 over the phone at about 35 USD (total). Very helpful sales rep and shipped same day. Replacing them on the little PCB is a problem, tho, as they are soldered both top and bottom sides with lead-free solder.
