Durable 10 mm potentiometer Amphenol PTC10LH01-223A2020 with mechanical detents and extended life span
Product Overview
The Piher PT-10 / PTC-10 is a 10-mm through-hole potentiometer available in carbon (PT-10) or cermet (PTC-10) resistive element options. Designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment, its shaftless design allows for versatile engagement mechanisms, including customized shafts, motor controls, or human interface adjustments. These potentiometers are suitable for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. Key features include excellent linearity (up to 3%), up to 16 mechanical detents for tactile feedback, extended life cycles (up to 100,000), and IP54 protection. Available with various tapers (linear, logarithmic, antilogarithmic), switch options, and packaging for automatic insertion, they are ideal for appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, timer and control relays, consumer electronics, power tool controls, and test and measurement equipment.
