Product Overview
The Piher PT-15 and PTC-15 are 15-mm through-hole potentiometers designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Featuring a shaftless design, they offer flexibility for various engagement mechanisms and can control variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. These potentiometers boast excellent performance with up to 3% linearity, carbon or cermet resistive elements, and up to 100,000 life cycles. They are suitable for a wide range of applications including appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, consumer electronics, and test equipment.
