Product Overview
The N-6 is a 6 mm miniature carbon potentiometer designed for cost-effective control solutions in the Industrial, Automotive, and Appliance markets. It offers the features of traditional full-size potentiometers in a compact and robust design, with a reduced form factor and tape-on-reel packaging for automated placement. Key advantages include RoHS & REACH compliance, a carbon resistive element, plastic substrate, over-molding manufacturing, and protection against accidental rotor movement. The N6 is suitable for applications such as home and building automation, appliances, timer and control relays, power supplies, alarms and detectors, and light dimmers.
