PS-15

15-mm carbon SMD potentiometer

The PS-15 potentiometers offer 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 volume.
