carbon potentiometer Amphenol PT10LV10-252A2020-S with customizable wiper positions and polyester substrate
Product Overview
The PT10 is a 10 mm carbon potentiometer designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Its shaftless design allows for integration with various engagement mechanisms, including customized shafts, motor controls, or human interfaces. This versatile potentiometer is ideal for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. Typical applications span test and measurement equipment, consumer electronics, appliances, small engines, robotics, motion controllers, and medical equipment control panels. It offers a dust-proof enclosure, polyester substrate, and is available with wiper positions at initial, 50%, or fully clockwise, with custom options also available.
