Product Overview
The Piher PC-16 is a 16-mm carbon panel mount potentiometer designed for a wide range of applications in the home appliance, industrial, and automotive markets. It features a robust plastic housing with an incorporated shaft and offers modular ganging up to four modules. Key benefits include IP54 protection, self-extinguishable material (UL 94-V0), and a selection of plastic and metal shafts. Configurable options such as various tapers (linear, log, antilog), solder lugs or PC pins, stereo matching, and rotary switches make the PC-16 a versatile control component. Typical applications include appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, HVAC control, consumer electronics, industrial controls, automotive control, and home and building automation.
