PCB mount pots in uk?

[catfud]

So far I've been wiring up pots that could be mounted on a vertical PCB, but I would like to find a source, preferably in the UK, for the pots that will mount on a horizontal PCB - I mean the ones with right-angled pins. I haven't found a source yet, does anyone know of one? Or are these only available internationally?

Thanks for any feedback!

I haven't been able to find a UK source for these either. I've got them from Germany on a number of occasions.

From here:  http://www.banzaimusic.com/PC-Mount-Vertical/
and here: http://www.musikding.de/Alpha-Pots-16mm-angled-pcb

Would be good to have a UK supplier.

I use solid core wire on regular pots. Never did find a source for right angled pots here.

Juan, I wish I had thought of that. What sort of gauge of solid-core wire works for you? I guess it needs to be inflexible enough to hold the board in place.

And thanks for the links twin, i haven't ordered from either of those sites before but might well try them out.

Solid core is a great idea, you can also use the legs on rectifier diodes.

I get 1n4001s from tayda and peel off the tape from one end and solder them on to a pot then clip them off leaving enough so I can still use the diode. That way it's technically free

I just strip the green solid core that we use. It's surprisingly more than enough to secure boards. I think it's 0.6mm... Will check and get back.

This is also a good idea - http://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/Header_pins/p847124_10844103.aspx

Will be a lot sturdier.
