potentiometer Amphenol PT15NH05-473A2020-I-PM-S with shaftless design and carbon or cermet resistive element options
Product Overview
The Piher PT-15 and PTC-15 are 15-mm through-hole potentiometers designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Featuring a shaftless design, they offer versatility for various engagement mechanisms, including customized shafts, motor controls, and human interface adjustments. These potentiometers are suitable for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, and volume. They are available with carbon or cermet resistive elements, offering excellent performance with up to 3% linearity and up to 38 mechanical detents for tactile feedback. With up to 100,000 life cycles and IP54 protection, they are ideal for demanding applications.
Key Applications: Appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, timer and control relays, consumer electronics, power tool controls, and test and measurement equipment.
