SMD potentiometer Amphenol PS10MH40-502A3030 with linear logarithmic and antilogarithmic taper options

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 customized shafts, motor controls, or human interfaces. These potentiometers are suitable for controlling variable outputs such as frequency, motor speed, or volume. Key features include IP54 protection, up to 10,000 life cycles, and availability in linear, logarithmic, and antilogarithmic tapers for the PSC-10 model. They are ideal for appliance program selection, thermostat adjustment, timer and control relays, consumer electronics, power tool controls, test and measurement equipment, small engines, robotics, and medical equipment control.
