PS-6

6-mm carbon SMD potentiometer

The PS-6 potentiometer offers control where frequent adjustment is required. The shaftless design allows for employment of different engagement mechanisms, such as a knob, a motor control or a human interface adjustment.

This potentiometer is the only 6 mm miniature potentiometer with optional stop positions for haptic feedback.

■ Designed for lead-free reflow soldering processes
■ Excellent performance
■ Up to 10 mechanical detents
■ 1.000 life cycles
■ IP54 protection / Moisture sensitivity level 1
■ Embossed tape packaging
■ Wiper positioned at initial, 50% or fully clockwise
■ Loose and assembled knobs, shafts available separately
■ Self extinguishable plastic UL 94V-0

The only 6 mm miniature trimmer potentiometer with optional stop positions for haptic feedback.
