N-6R
6-mm miniature carbon SMD reflow potentiometer
The N-6R is a unique, fully RoHS & REACH ready Miniature Control Potentiometer with all the features of traditional full size potentiometers. The combination of wide electrical angle, ROHS reflow capability, reduced form factor, tape on reel packaging for automated high speed placement and extra long mechanical life provides market leading performance in a compact & robust design.
The N-6R has been conceived for the Industrial, Automotive and Appliance markets to provide a cost effective control solution. Further options include improved linearity and standard shaft and knobs.
■ Up to 10k cycles mechanical life
■ Over-moulding manufacturing technique
■ Embossed Tape (for SMD) packaging for automatic insertion or bulk for manual assembly
■ Both sides cross slot easy adjustment
■ Accidental rotor movement protected
■ IP54 protection according to IEC 60529
