Please take a quick look at these ALPS faders

Parts Questions

Hi,

I am going to get ALPS faders as suggested throughout the forum. I am looking to buy them at Farnell - http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?sku=1191712. These say they are PCB mount though, but they look like they have screw threads and the top and bottom ends. Can I panel mount these, does anyone know? If not any suggestions where I might find Panel mount ALPS faders - I’m after 60mm ones.

cheers

you’ll be fine with those

The legs don’t have the hoops on them, so soldering will be a LITTLE more fiddly but by no means impossible

I’ve just finished soldering looms with 36 panel mounts pots, with the wires soldered directly to the legs. So it’s perfectly do-able.

and yes you have the holes on the top to fix the little begger to the front face plate

thanks david, I’m just hoping I can find the correct screws somewhere.

… no problem: M3

Just watch out, that the screws have the appr. lenght or they will “touch” the res-taper
