Hey Grant,

Interesting concept...  I have some PCB mount pots (.100" lead spacing)
that would probably accept KK series connectors.  Do you have any problems
with the long-term reliability of the connection?  This would be a slick
way to make the pots field serviceable.  I'll have to try this on a module
and see how it holds up.

Good idea!
