PT-15

15-mm carbon through-hole potentiometer

The PT-15 potentiometers offers control where frequent adjustment is required. The shaftless design allows for employment of different engagement mechanisms, such as a customized shaft, a motor control or a human interface adjustment. This potentiometer can also control variable outputs including frequency, change in motor speed or light brightness.

Thanks to its extended mechanical life, this potentiometer is widely used as a sensor providing position feedback to the microcontroller.

A cermet potentiometer counterpart with higher power rating is the PTC-15.

An SMD potentiometer counterpart is the PS-15.
