PC-16 16-mm Carbon Panel Mount Potentiometer
Product Overview
The Piher PC-16 is a single-turn panel control potentiometer featuring a carbon resistive element and a plastic housing with an incorporated shaft. Designed for reliability and versatility, it offers IP54 protection and is constructed from self-extinguishable material (UL 94-V0). With configurable options like ganging up to four modules, various shaft types (plastic and metal), and selectable tapers (linear, logarithmic, antilogarithmic), the PC-16 is well-suited for a wide range of applications in the home appliance, industrial, and automotive markets. Its robust design and optional features make it an ideal choice for appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, HVAC control, consumer electronics, industrial controls, automotive control, and home and building automation.
