adjustable potentiometer Amphenol PT15NV15-222A2020-I-PM-S suitable for appliance program selection and thermostat adjustment
Product Overview
The PT-15 and PTC-15 are 15-mm carbon and cermet through-hole potentiometers designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Their shaftless design allows for versatile integration with various engagement mechanisms, including custom 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%), up to 38 mechanical detents for tactile feedback, and a long operational life of up to 100,000 cycles. They also feature IP54 protection and are available in magazine packaging for automatic insertion. Applications span appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, timer and control relays, consumer electronics, power tool controls, and test and measurement equipment.
