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 integration with various engagement mechanisms, including custom shafts, motor controls, or human interfaces, enabling control of variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. These potentiometers offer features like up to 10,000 life cycles, IP54 protection, and options for linear, logarithmic, and antilogarithmic tapers (PSC-10 only). They are suitable for a wide range of applications including appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, consumer electronics, and medical equipment control.
