Product Overview
The Piher PT-6 is a 6-mm carbon through-hole trimmer potentiometer designed for precise adjustments in electronic circuits. It features a carbon resistive element, offers up to 10 mechanical detents for haptic feedback and optional stop positions, and boasts a lifespan of up to 10,000 cycles. With IP54 protection, it is suitable for demanding environments. The PT-6 is available in various tapers (linear, logarithmic, antilogarithmic) and can be supplied with loose or assembled shafts and knobs. It is also available with an optional SPDT switch function. Its compact size and magazine packaging make it ideal for automatic insertion in high-volume production.
