Re: Searching for an existing footprint

I don't think anyone said that you have to buy the part. I said that I don't often buy from Digikey or Mouser because that often means paying a very high delivery charge. And, of course, you can't get the files if the part is not stocked.

I may have missed something....It seemed to be implied that one has to buy the part from digikey or moused and then you would have access to the physical details, e.g. foot print etc.? Is that the case?? The last time I did this, these diagrams/files were free.? Admittedly this was quite a while ago...

Ah, That is the log (audio) version. I looked for the linear version, but obviously the footprint is the same, so I'll take up your kind offer of the files.

Funny, I found the ALPS ALPINE RK11K11410KA on Farnell UK - they have 96 in stock at ?2.23 at 1off. Is this not what you want?

They also have the full complement of PCB files, which I have downloaded. If you still want to use this, I'll send you the KiCad files to your private email.

Farnell doesn't have the part, but Componentsearch lists it, so I asked it to build the footprint, which it flatly refused with a big red banner! I wonder what the problem is.

Thanks, Tony. Yes, I have occasionally been able to buy from Mouser and Digikey without paying the huge devilry charges. I have found a solution to the trimmer pot: I have some with the same layout as TO-5. Now I'm looking for the footprint of Alps RK11K114, which is a spindle pot, the filter frequency control. I have found the dimensions from Mouser., but obviously I will try to follow up your extensive advice about Farnell and ECAD.
