Product Overview
The N-6 is a 6mm miniature carbon potentiometer designed for cost-effective control solutions in industrial, automotive, and appliance markets. It offers the features of traditional full-size potentiometers in a compact and robust design, with market-leading performance due to its wide electrical angle, reduced form factor, and tape-on-reel packaging for automated placement. An RoHS reflow version (N6-R) with extended mechanical life is also available. The N6 is RoHS & REACH compliant and features over-molding technology for enhanced durability. Further customization options include improved linearity and various shaft and knob selections.
