Product Overview
The Piher PS-10 and PSC-10 are 10-mm carbon and cermet SMD potentiometers designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Their 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. They offer features like IP54 protection, up to 16 mechanical detents for tactile feedback, and locating pins for accurate PCB positioning. Available in carbon (PS-10) and cermet (PSC-10) resistive elements, they cater to a wide range of applications including appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, consumer electronics, and medical equipment control.
