Title: Where to source small blue trim pots in USA?

Where to source small blue trim pots in USA?
I know there are some different types that are smaller in size, but I want them to sit flat on the PCB.  I know I have bought them before.  I am pretty sure that Mammoth doesn't have them.  I am thinking that Small Bear doesn't, but it is hard to tell from lack of descriptions and data sheets on their website.  Probably at Mouser, but I have made a few mistakes there from the sheer number of products that they carry.

I have multiples of the values that I need, but I want them to look nice on the PCB.  I have the larger blue ones and some small white ones (but they sit up high off the PCB).

What you're looking for are probably the Bourns 3362 series. Mouser carries them, as do all the major electronics suppliers.

You can also get them from Tayda.

Thanks guys. 
The brand name and series number is exactly what I needed.  I didn't want to make any more mistakes ordering.

I figured Mouser would have them, but sometimes it is hard to differentiate some parts from the others online.
