Versatile Amphenol PS10LH40-104A3030 potentiometer for power tool controls and consumer electronics

Product Overview

The Piher PS-10 and PSC-10 are 10-mm carbon and cermet SMD potentiometers designed for applications requiring frequent adjustment. Their shaftless design enables integration with various engagement mechanisms, including custom shafts, motor controls, and human interfaces. These potentiometers are suitable for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, and volume. They offer features like IP54 protection, up to 10,000 life cycles, and options for linear, logarithmic, and antilogarithmic tapers (PSC-10). Applications span appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, consumer electronics, power tool controls, and medical equipment control.
