Durable Cermet Potentiometer Amphenol PTC10LV10-252A2020 with Alumina Substrate and IP54 Protection
Product Overview
The PTC-10 series cermet potentiometer offers precise control for various electronic applications. Designed with a cermet resistive element and an alumina substrate, it provides IP54 protection and is constructed with non-flammable materials (housing, rotor, and shaft) meeting UL94V-0 standards. Available in various configurations including standard, low torque, and with optional SPDT switches, the PTC-10 is suitable for applications such as lighting control, power hand tools, relays, timers, and HVAC systems. It can be supplied in magazines for automatic insertion and offers options for laser trimming, special tapers, and stepped outputs for enhanced precision.
