QC16

The QC16 belongs to the patented ACP Pluggable series. The three pins of the potentiometer are fitted into a 1,55 mm thick plastic part with a pitch of 2,5mm, allowing its connection to the suitable RAST2,5 card edge connector.

The external housing contains two washers for direct panel fixation throught M4 screws into the customer device. ACP can also study other options for direct panel fixation.

The standard configuration has 16 detents evenly distributed along its 360º endless rotation, and allows to choose between 4 different detent torque values, from 3 Ncm to 6 Ncm. ACP can offer different number of detents under request.

Extended temperature versions covering a range from -40°C to +120°C are available for applications where the working temperature interval exceeds the standard limits of -25°C to+70°C. Ingress Protection rating type is IP54 and plastic materials can be self-extinguishable according to UL 94V0 whenever required.

The ACP pluggable series is an appealing cost saving option as customer can remove both PCB and soldering proccess. The electrical signal is directly transmitted from the front panel to the electronics using the suitable RAST2,5 connector.

The QC16 is commonly used as a voltage divider feeding the microcontroller with an accurate voltage level, ensuring non-overlapping between contiguous positions.

Applications:
This Rotary Potentiometer Switch is the ideal alternative to Absolute Encoders and Rotary Switches for control applications like Program Selector Switches in White Goods: Washing Machines, Dishwashers, Dryers, Electrical Ovens etc.,
