PT-10 / PTC-10: 10-mm Carbon / Cermet Through-Hole Potentiometer
The PT-10 and PTC-10 are 10-mm through-hole potentiometers designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Their shaftless design allows for integration with various engagement mechanisms, including customized shafts, motor controls, or human interface adjustments. These potentiometers are capable of controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, and volume. They offer excellent performance with up to 3% linearity, a choice of carbon or cermet resistive elements, and up to 16 mechanical detents for tactile feedback. With a lifespan of up to 100,000 cycles and IP54 protection, the PT-10 and PTC-10 are suitable for demanding environments.
