High durability Amphenol PT15WH06-503A2020-6NE potentiometer with carbon or cermet resistive element options
Product Overview
The PT-15 and PTC-15 are 15-mm through-hole potentiometers, available in carbon or cermet, designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Their shaftless design allows for versatile engagement mechanisms, including customized shafts, motor controls, or human interface adjustments. These potentiometers are suitable for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. Key advantages include excellent linearity (up to 3%), a wide range of detents for tactile feedback, extended life cycles (up to 100,000), and IP54 protection. They are available with magazine packaging for automatic insertion, polyester/alumina substrates, and various taper options. Applications span appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, timer and control relays, consumer electronics, power tool controls, and test and measurement equipment.
