Product Overview
The Piher PS-10 and PSC-10 are 10-mm carbon/cermet SMD potentiometers designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Their shaftless design allows for integration with various engagement mechanisms, including custom shafts, motor controls, or human interfaces. These potentiometers are suitable for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, and volume. Key features include a durable construction with up to 10,000 life cycles, IP54 protection, and options for linear, logarithmic, and antilogarithmic tapers (PSC-10). They are supplied in embossed tape packaging according to IEC 60286-3:2007 and are available with up to 16 mechanical detents for tactile feedback. Applications span across appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, consumer electronics, power tool controls, and medical equipment control.
