Does anyone use D shaft pots?

[Luke51411]

I'm wondering where to get some as I placed a mouser order with a bunch of different knobs not realizing most of them are D shaft knobs. I suppose mouser would be the place to get them. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Never mind, it seems they have a bunch on Mouser for good prices. Could someone confirm though for this http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/ALPS/RK09L1140A66/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtC25l1F4XBU3JeeCo7XMTlKhr%252bUnFkA68%3d
Does it come with the mounting hardware? I obviously have trouble interpreting these datasheets...

Looks to me like they do come with the washer and nut.

They look like the same footprint as the 9mm pots we frequently use. If so, that could be awesome. Getting knobs lined up and seated flat is always a chore for me.

If I understand things rightly, with D shaft pots the pot's orientation on the PCB is quite important, as this defines where the rotation starts and ends on the panel, and therefore where the knob marking delineates the start and end.

Makes sense but I don't always use all board mounted

The other values are more expensive but still not bad
