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.
