carbon cermet potentiometer Amphenol PT15NV02-104A2020-S ideal for volume frequency and motor speed variable output control
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 suitable for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. Key features include excellent linearity (up to 3%), up to 38 mechanical detents for tactile feedback, and an extended life of up to 100,000 cycles. With IP54 protection and available magazine 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.
