How about a bulk order ?? For my project I need about 40 unit of RK117 (10kohm) with center detent (and some without), and 0.5 push button. I also find an encoder alternative which is amazing : Tyco Encoder With led and button for 4.5 euros.

So am I, I didn't finf any good potentiometer with button into the mouser website nor than farnell and radiospare I'm about to buy them directly from alps and to re sell them on ebay ..... My Dream will be a pot with push button and clear pot to add a led into the button.....Is it so difficult to build !? :(

Hello everybody, I was searching for a while an laternative of the attractive potentiometer Alps RK117 (RK1171114D01) This pots have a centered detent and an integrated switch button with a really attractive metal housing. Here the official link : http://www3.alps.com/WebObjects/catalog.woa/E/HTML/Potentiometer/MetalShaft/RK117/RK1171114D01.html I'll need 40 of this model in order to build my midibox, but it was only sold by 1000 (a littel more than 2.6$ each) I'm french and I don't know if anybody will be interested with a bulk order..... The goal is to have 40 groups of : pot 10kohm linear centered detent small push button simple led So I hesitate to make it with RK117 like pots + 1 led or with a simple pot + illuminated push button, I don't have enough space to have pot+button+led... I you have any good ideas, I will be happy to know it Thanks :D
