PT-10 / PTC-10: 10-mm Carbon / Cermet Through-Hole Potentiometer
The Piher PT-10 and PTC-10 potentiometers are designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Their shaftless design offers flexibility for various engagement mechanisms, including custom shafts, motor controls, or human interface adjustments. These potentiometers effectively control variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, and volume. Key features include excellent linearity (up to 3%), choice of carbon or cermet resistive elements, up to 16 mechanical detents for tactile feedback, and an extended life of up to 100,000 cycles. They also offer IP54 protection and are available with magazine packaging for automatic insertion.
