N-6

6 mm miniature carbon potentiometer n6

The N6 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, reduced form factor, tape on reel packaging for automated high speed placement and over-molding technology provides market leading performance in a compact & robust design. A ROHS reflow version (N6-R) with extra long mechanical life is also available.

The N6 has been conceived for the Industrial, Automotive and Appliance markets to provide a cost effective control solution. Further options include improved linearity and a selection of custom shafts and knobs.

■ Embossed Tape (for SMD) packaging for automatic insertion and bulk for manual assembly
■ Both sides cross slot easy adjustment / accidental rotor movement protected
■ Assembly method: stand up and lay down
■ IP54 protection according to IEC 60529
