Shaftless 10 millimeter carbon cermet SMD potentiometer Amphenol PS10KV50-104A3030 ideal for frequency and volume adjustment
Product Overview
The PS-10 and PSC-10 are 10-mm carbon/cermet SMD potentiometers designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Their shaftless design allows for integration with various engagement mechanisms, including customized shafts, motor controls, or human interfaces. These potentiometers are suitable for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. They feature robust construction with options for IP54 protection, embossed tape packaging, and up to 16 mechanical detents for tactile feedback. Available in carbon (PS-10) or cermet (PSC-10) resistive elements, they offer linear, logarithmic, and antilogarithmic tapers (PSC-10) and are constructed with self-extinguishable plastic (UL 94V-0) for enhanced safety.
