nonflammable plastic potentiometer Amphenol PTC10LV10-102A2020 with alumina substrate and ip54 rating
Product Overview
The PTC-10 series is a 10 mm cermet potentiometer designed for precise control applications. Featuring an IP54 protection rating and constructed with non-flammable plastic materials (UL94V-0) and an alumina substrate, these potentiometers offer durability and reliability. They are suitable for a wide range of consumer electronics, including lighting control, power hand tools, relays, timers, and HVAC systems. Options include low torque versions, SPDT switches, laser trimming for tighter tolerances, and custom wiper positioning. The series is also available with mechanical detents, offering a cost-effective alternative to absolute encoders by integrating precise electrical outputs with distinct mechanical positions, enhancing repeatability and preventing value drift due to vibration.
