9mm cermet potentiometers with plastic enclosure and shaft. Ingress Protection rating type IP 54 (high level of protection against dust and also against water splashing), according to IEC 60529. Plastic materials can be self-extinguishable according to UL 94 V-0 under request.
Cermet potentiometers have better thermal stability, allow for higher thermal dissipation and withstand higher temperatures than carbon potentiometers.
Through-hole configuration is available. Terminals and collector are manufactured in tinned brass. Terminals for through-hole models can be provided straight or crimped, which helps to hold the component to the PCB during soldering.
Tapers can be linear, log and antilog; special tapers can also be studied.
Applications:
– Industrial: Timers, Relays, Dimmers, Motors
– Electronic appliances: Temperature controls
– Automotive: Lighting regulation, dimmers, seat heating controls.
– Measurement and test equipment: multimeters, oscilloscopes
