Product Overview
The N-6 is a 6 mm miniature carbon potentiometer designed for cost-effective control solutions in Industrial, Automotive, and Appliance markets. It offers features of traditional full-size potentiometers in a compact and robust design, including a wide electrical angle, reduced form factor, and tape-on-reel packaging for automated placement. The N6 is RoHS & REACH compliant and available in SMD or through-hole mounting options. An N6-R version with enhanced mechanical life is also available. Further customization options include improved linearity and custom shafts and knobs.
