Compact and Amphenol PTC15LH05-103A2020 potentiometer designed for appliance program selection tasks
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, these potentiometers offer flexibility for various engagement mechanisms, including customized shafts, motor controls, or human interface adjustments. They are suitable for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. Key benefits include excellent linearity up to 3%, a long life cycle of up to 100,000 cycles, and IP54 protection. Applications span appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, timer and control relays, consumer electronics, power tool controls, and test and measurement equipment.
