PT-10 / PTC-10: 10mm Carbon / Cermet Through-Hole Potentiometer
Product Overview
The Piher PT-10 and PTC-10 are 10mm through-hole potentiometers designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Their shaftless design offers flexibility for various engagement mechanisms, including customized shafts, motor controls, or human interface adjustments. These potentiometers are ideal for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. Key features include excellent linearity (up to 3%), choice of carbon or cermet resistive elements, up to 16 mechanical detents for tactile feedback, and an extended life of up to 100,000 cycles. With IP54 protection and available magazine packaging for automatic insertion, they are suitable for diverse industrial and consumer electronics applications.
