N-15

Low Profile Rotary Position Sensor / 360° Potentiometer

The N-15 automotive-grade potentiometer series converts angular position into a proportional analog voltage. It features 360-degree non-stop rotation, a 340º electrical angle, SMD or through-hole mounting, an extended working temperature range of –40ºC to +120ºC, and a wide range of customization options. This makes it a highly versatile small sensor potentiometer.

■ SMD or Through-hole mount
■ Excellent performance (3% linearity)
■ Up to 2.000.000 life cycles
■ IP54 protection
■ 360° endless rotation (non stop)
■ 340° electrical angle
■ Low profile (4.4 mm) and footprint (15 mm)
■ High operating temperature range
■ Polarised “T” rotor (European Home Appliance standard)
■ Embossed tape packaging according to IEC 60286-3:2007
■ Selection of shafts available

For engineers seeking a durable, high-temperature Rotary sensor for cars and industrial, the N-15 Automotive Rotary Potentiometers deliver accuracy and flexibility in a highly compact package.
