Panel potentiometer with built-in variable resistor and switch
Its unique design consists of a knob driving that incorporates a cermet or conductive plastic potentiometer. Only the mounting hardware and terminals are situated on the back side of the panel, which keeps the required clearance to a minimum and makes it ideal for small, low-profile, low-weight equipment. The P16S offers a power rating to 1W at + 40°C and TCR of ± 150ppm/°C typical, with high dielectric strength of 2.5kVrms.
The device is available in 7mm bushing length (15mm inside equipment) with a 16mm knob diameter, and offers a temperature range of – 40°C to + 125°C. It is RoHS-compliant and lead (Pb)-free. A version of the new potentiometer with a conductive plastic element for audio applications, the PA16S, is also available.
