Enabling the Electronics Revolution PT-6 6-mm carbon through-hole potentiometer The PT-6 potentiometer offers control where frequent adjustment is required. The shaftless design allows for employment of different engagement mechanisms, such as a customized shaft, a motor control or a human interface adjustment. This potentiometer can also control variable outputs including frequency, change in motor speed or volume.
