Knob Potentiometer
FEATURES
Test according to CECC 41000 or IEC 60393-1
P16 - version for professional and industrial
applications (cermet)
1 W at 40 C
PA16 - version for professional audio applications
(conductive plastic)
0.5 W at 40 C
The P16 is a revolutionary concept in panel mounted
Compact (integrated)
potentiometers. This unique design consists of a knob
High dielectric strength: 2500 V
driving and incorporating a cermet potentiometer. Only the RMS
mounting hardware and terminals are situated on the back
Fully sealed and panel sealed
side of the panel reducing to a minimum the required
Metallic or plastic knob options
clearance.
Custom knob on request
