Product Overview
The N-15 series from Piher is a versatile 15mm carbon position sensor/potentiometer designed for easy customization. Available in both SMD and Through-hole mount options, it offers endless rotation (360) with a wide electrical angle of 340 10. Engineered for extended mechanical life of 100k cycles (200k cycles version available), it operates within a wide temperature range of -40C to +120C. Its low profile design (4.4 mm) and IP54 protection make it suitable for demanding applications. The N-15 series is ideal for position/rotary sensor and multi-purpose control applications in automotive HVAC, seat adjustment, rear-view mirror feedback, temperature control systems for appliances like boilers and ovens, and timer/function selection in white goods.
