Product Overview
The Piher PS-10 and PSC-10 are 10-mm carbon and cermet SMD potentiometers designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Their shaftless design allows for versatile engagement mechanisms, including customized shafts, motor controls, or human interface adjustments. These potentiometers are ideal for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. Key features include IP54 protection, up to 10,000 life cycles, and options for linear, logarithmic, and antilogarithmic tapers (PSC-10). They are suitable for a wide range of applications including appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, consumer electronics, power tool controls, and medical equipment control.
