Product Overview
The Piher PS-6 is a 6-mm carbon SMD trimmer potentiometer designed for lead-free reflow soldering processes. It offers excellent performance with a carbon resistive element and is available with up to 10 mechanical detents for haptic feedback. This miniature trimmer potentiometer is suitable for a wide range of applications including appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, timer and control relays, consumer electronics, power tool controls, and test and measurement equipment. It features IP54 protection, moisture sensitivity level 1, and is self-extinguishable plastic (UL 94V-0). Options for loose and assembled knobs, and shafts are available separately.
