Product Overview
The PT10 potentiometer is a 10mm carbon potentiometer designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Its shaftless design allows for versatile integration with custom shafts, motor controls, or human interfaces. This versatile potentiometer is ideal for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. Typical applications include test and measurement equipment, consumer electronics, appliances, small engines, robotics, motion controllers, and medical equipment control panels. The PT10 offers a dust-proof enclosure, polyester substrate, and is available in various wiper positions. It can be tailored for specific needs, with options for automatic insertion, long-life applications, and mechanical detents.
