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