Pot footprint is incorrect........thru holes are too close?

[opampsmoker]

Hi,
Do you agree that the recomended footprint for the PT10LV05-103A2020 pot is not correct.?
There is only 0.4mm of clearance between the thru hole edges of the 3mm diam centre hole and the top hole.

Hi,

yes, I agree. Maybe some PCB manufacturers can reliably produce boards with this requirement. Ask your PCB manufacturer.

But I wonder why you choose exactly this mounting method.
* I think the "V10" are more common.
* And the hole is only needed when you want to adjuast the pot "through the PCB". If you want to adjust the pot from top side the hole is not needed at all.
