Snap in pots?

[DJSail]

I've been searching for pots and I've come up with these Alps ones they seem perfect but I'm not quite sure what is meant by snap in! Are they panel-mountable? Do you mount the case then simply push the pots into these case?!

Any replies woudl be great

cheers

Hi,

I think that link is unique to your computer. I got a "session expired" error, but browsing that site, I saw some of the Alps "snap-ins". I'm guessing they're just talking about those two outer pins (attached to the casing). They're the type that have that curved lump in them, so that they push through a hole and sort of lock themselves in place (like the tip contact inside a tip-ring-sleeve phone jack). Basically standard solder type pots with a couple anchors. I have a bunch here. Just make sure you get linear taper and non-detented (unless you want that).

Someone please correct that if it's wrong. 8)
