Potentiometers now with solder lug leads
29 October 2008
Passive Components
Providing design engineers with a termination method specifically designed for manual wire soldering, BI Technologies has expanded its family of 12,7 mm rotary potentiometers to include devices with solder lug terminations.
Designated the Model P261 potentiometer, the side-adjust device features up to six gangs and is available in potentiometer, rotary switch and detent modules. The elliptic holes on the solder lug leads measure 1,8 mm x 1,0 mm and fit wire sizes from AWG 20 to AWG 40.
The devices feature a conductive plastic element, are sealed for contaminated environments and have a rotational life of 1 million cycles. Resistance ranges from 500 Ω to 1 MΩ, with power ratings of 0,25 W and 0,5 W. Standard tolerance is to ±10%, with a maximum input voltage of 350 V a.c. and a dielectric strength of 1500 V a.c. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C.
Typical applications for the product family include joysticks, musical instruments, industrial controls, position sensors and board mounted panel controls.
