I ordered a set of slide pots for my 6 band eq and the #3 leg doesn't line up with the PCB. I have reached the following two possible conclusions:
1. Slide pot pinout is not standardized and the #3 leg is either across from #1 or #2. If this is the case, then Mouser has failed to provide the option to specify, which makes it seem unlikely.
OR
2. They are supposed to mount on the non-silkscreen side of the PCB. It will fit this way, but if my above conclusion is correct then pins 1 and 2 would be reversed. It would also be unlike any other PedalPCB board that I am aware of, as they all mount the parts on the silkscreen side.
Halp? Thank.
