For the life of me I can’t find any 9mm vertical pots on the DigiKey site. Can anyone provide a link to this pot or an equivalent from DigiKey? Alpha 9mm Pots – Vertical T18 Shaft – Thonk – DIY Synthesizer Kits & Components
It does need to be the same footprint as above as the PCB can’t be changed.
I live in MN and would rather not use another vendor.
Thanks for your help.
Hello gumi and welcome to the DigiKey TechForum!
I took a look at the site you provided and we do not carry anything with the same footprint as THESE are the options we have that line up with the other specifications on the link you provided.
I did notice in the link you provided that, although it does say they are 9mm potentiometers, there are no actual physical dimensions that are 9mm according to the specifications and drawings. The shaft is a 6mm diameter with a 15mm length, and the width of the base is 9.5mm.
Okay thanks for the info. I have used these Alpha pots in numerous projects and they fit the PCB footprint perfectly. The pots you linked unfortunately won’t work for my projects as they don’t have knurled shafts for control knobs. I will continue with a different vendor.
