MCS14

MCS14mm carbon potentiometer with plastic enclosure and shaft.Thanks to the CS14 placed inside its plastic enclousure, we can achive 360º of mechanical rotation (electrical angle up to 330º).

The plastic enclosure is fitted with a bushing for fixation to a panel through a nut and a washer. Through-hole and pluggable version to RAST2.5 card edge connector are available. Ingress Protection rating type is IP54 and plastic materials can be self-extinguishable according to UL 94V0 whenever required.

Terminals and collector are manufactured in tinned brass, although versions with steel terminals are also available under request. Terminals for through-hole models can be provided straight or crimped, which helps hold the component to the PCB during soldering.

Tapers can be linear, log and antilog; special tapers can also be studied.

Applications:
– Electronic appliances: heating, HVAC systems, thermostats, washing machines, dishwashers, tumble-dryers, etc…
– Measurement and test equipment.
