through hole potentiometer Amphenol PT15NV15-472A2020-S with tactile detents and flexible shaft integration
Product Overview
The Piher 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 flexible integration with various engagement mechanisms, including customized shafts, motor controls, or human interface adjustments. These potentiometers are ideal for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. They offer excellent performance with up to 3% linearity, a wide range of detents for tactile feedback, and extended life cycles of up to 100,000 cycles. With IP54 protection and availability in magazine packaging for automatic insertion, they are suitable for demanding industrial environments.
