PS-6
6-mm carbon SMD potentiometer
The PS-6 potentiometer offers control where frequent adjustment is required. The shaftless design allows for employment of different engagement mechanisms, such as a knob, a motor control or a human interface adjustment.
This potentiometer is the only 6 mm miniature potentiometer with optional stop positions for haptic feedback.
