Panel potentiometers are available in a variety of constructions, and some models feature life cycles up to 100,000 rotations.
Sample kit brings voltage dividers to hand
BI Technologies Electronic Component Division has developed an engineering sample kit of its SOT-23 packaged precision voltage divider networks.
Potentiometers are easy to adjust.
TT Electronics' BI Technologies has recently developed a RoHS-compliant, 3mm multi-turn potentiometer with top adjust capabilities.
According to Frank Pipitone, Vice President of Variable Products for BI Technologies Electronic Components Division, this expansion of our product offering provides customers with an increased variety of options.
"Our panel potentiometers help fill the void between our trimmers and high end precision potentiometers".
"This enables our customers to have a larger selection of BI Technologies product from which to choose the right device for each application", said Pipitone.
"We offer a large number of optional features to make our panel potentiometers suitable for human interface and board mount configurations in a variety of markets".
The panel potentiometers are being specified for diverse uses, from white goods, instrument amplifiers, electric guitars, audio mixing consoles, musical keyboards, and digital drums to industrial welders, test and measurement equipment, and HVAC applications.
Devices in the panel potentiometer product line include: the P090 9mm carbon potentiometer with insulated shaft; the P09x 9mm carbon potentiometer with up to eight gangs, including switches; the P110 11mm carbon potentiometer with insulated shaft; the P120 12mm carbon potentiometer with two gangs; the P140 14mm carbon potentiometer with two gangs; the P160 16mm carbon potentiometer with up to six gangs, including switches; the P170 17mm carbon potentiometer with optional switch; the P230 24mm conductive plastic potentiometer with brass bushing and 100,000 cycle rotational life; the P231 24mm carbon potentiometer with zinc bushing and 10,000 cycle rotational life; and the P270 27mm conductive plastic potentiometer with rotational life of 1 million cycles.
Typical pricing for the panel potentiometers is US $0.25-0.50 for the consumer grade devices and $1.00 to $5.00 for the industrial products.
Lead times are from stock to 6 weeks.
