Product Overview
The PT-6 is a 6-mm carbon through-hole trimmer potentiometer designed for precise adjustments in electronic applications. It features a carbon resistive element, offering excellent performance and durability with up to 10,000 life cycles. The potentiometer is available with up to 10 mechanical detents for haptic feedback and offers IP54 protection against dust and water ingress. It is suitable for automatic insertion with magazine packaging and can be supplied with loose or assembled shafts and knobs. Available in linear, logarithmic, and antilogarithmic tapers, and with an optional SPDT switch function, the PT-6 is ideal for appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, timer and control relays, consumer electronics, power tool controls, and test and measurement equipment.
