Why choose this product?

• The wire design is suitable for applications requiring stability and mechanical resistance.
• A wide range of resistance values makes it easy to select for a specific connection.
• Panel mounting with shaft is practical for integration into devices and control cabinets.
• The operating temperature range allows use even in technically more demanding conditions.
• The nominal power of 1 W is suitable for common control and adjustment tasks.

Installation and operating instructions

• When selecting a resistor variant, it is necessary to take into account the required control range and power load in the circuit.
• Install the potentiometer in such a way that there is no mechanical stress on the terminals or shaft.
• For proper function, we recommend checking the connection of the end terminals and the runner before commissioning.
• When soldering, it is advisable to limit the time of thermal stress on the pins to the necessary minimum.

Safety notice

• The maximum permissible operating voltage must always be assessed with respect to the specific resistance value and power loss in the application.
• If the component is used in circuits with hazardous voltage, installation must be performed by a qualified person.
• When operating in devices with voltages above 60 V DC or in network applications, it is necessary to ensure adequate insulation, shielding and protection against touching live parts.
