key requirements. The materials used in the all plastic body and spindle construction are UL
approved making it a suitable component for domestic appliances and control systems
where safety is of prime importance. This popular low cost potentiometer is suitable for
industrial and professional applications. A range of approved switches can be added to the
rear of the potentiometer, to produce rotary or push-push action mains switches.
