2 RBON ERMET E E mm carbon potentiometers with plastic housing and Ingress Protection rating type IP (high level of protection against dust and also against water splashing), according to IE 9. Plastic materials can be self-extinguishable according to UL 9 V- under request. Through-hole and SMD configurations are available. Terminals and collector are normally manufactured in tinned brass, although versions with steel terminals are also available under request. Terminals for through-hole models can be provided straight or crimped, which helps hold the component to the PB during soldering. Tapers can be linear, log and antilog; special tapers can also be studied. P s potentiometers can be adjusted from either the front or the back, both in the horizontal and the vertical adjustment types. Thumbwheels and shafts can be ordered either separately or already inserted in the potentiometer. Potentiometers can be manufactured in a wide range of possibilities regarding: - value. - Tolerance. - Tapers / variation laws. - Pitch. - Positioning of the wiper (standard is at % rotation). - Housing and rotor color. - Mechanical life. - lick effect (up to detents available). - Self-extinguishable plastic parts according to UL 9 V-. pplications mm potentiometers are mainly used in control applications in different markets: - Electronic household appliances, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HV) equipment, thermostats. - utomotive: HV controls, lighting regulation (position adjustment and sensing), dimmers, seat heating controls. - Industrial electronics: multimeters, oscilloscopes, time relays, measurement and test equipment. mm cermet potentiometers with plastic housing and Ingress Protection rating type IP (high level of protection against dust and also against water splashing), according to IE 9.

6 Tapers The standard taper is linear (). Log (B) and ntilog () tapers are also available, as well as special tapers according to customer s specifications. For example, a special taper can be matched with a potentiometer with detents (click effect), to guarantee a value in a specific position see detents section.- REGULR TPERS SPEIL TPERS % Potentiometers with cut track ntilog () Linear () % Rotation angle θ Log (B) % or Vo Vi Rotation angle The cut track is an area with very high resistive value, resulting in an open circuit. It is widely used in lighting applications. Mechanical life with cut track needs to be confirmed. PI ut at initial position, when the potentiometer is turned fully counter clockwise. PF ut at final position, when the potentiometer is turned fully clockwise. Other positions are available on request. E PI PF B B B B Potentiometers with detents P s patented detent (DT) feature is especially suitable for control applications where the end user will turn a knob inserted in the potentiometer. Detents can be used to add a click feeling to the turning of the potentiometer or to control the position in which the wiper is placed, assuring a particular output value with a narrow tolerance. Detents can be light or strong, or even a combination of different feelings. They can be evenly distributed along the angle (standard) or tailored to match customers request. They can also be combined with special tapers: constant value areas, open circuit zone, different slopes, etc. One common example is a potentiometer with detents and matching non-overlapping voltage values in specific angular positions used to feed in a voltage value to a microprocessor: Example of DT with control of value in each DT. % U/UN MIDDLE POSITION % % B UN DT DT B DT % U DT DT % DT DT DT DT DT º Specifications on this catalog are for reference only, as they are subject to change without notice.
