Product Overview
The N-15 series is a versatile 15mm carbon position sensor/potentiometer designed for easy customization and a wide range of control applications. It offers both SMD and Through-hole mounting options, featuring endless rotation (360) and a wide electrical angle (340 10). With an extended mechanical life of 100,000 cycles (200,000 cycles version available), a low profile of 4.4mm, and IP54 protection, the N-15 is built for durability and performance in demanding environments. It supports reflow soldering and is compatible with all PT/PTC 15 shafts. Typical applications include automotive HVAC and seat feedback sensors, temperature control systems for appliances like boilers and ovens, and timer/function selectors for white goods. The polarized "T" rotor is compliant with the European Home Appliance standard.
