N-6 6 mm Miniature Carbon Potentiometer
The N6 is a miniature, RoHS & REACH compliant carbon potentiometer designed for cost-effective control solutions in industrial, automotive, and appliance markets. It offers the performance of traditional full-size potentiometers in a reduced form factor, featuring a wide electrical angle, tape-on-reel packaging for automated placement, and overmolding technology for a compact and robust design. An optional RoHS reflowable version (N6-R) with extended mechanical life is also available. Further customization options include improved linearity and custom shafts and knobs.
