Potentiometer features life of 2 million cycles

The P30L panel potentiometers are now specified to deliver a rotational life of 2 million cycles at rated power, while standard potentiometers typically reach 50,000 to 100,000 cycles. The 19.7-mm-diameter device also features power ratings to 3 W at 70C, high operating torque of 4.25 oz-in., an end stop torque of 99 oz/in., and a cermet resistive element.

Offered in a fully sealed IP67 package with pure Sn terminals, the potentiometer features four resistances values from 1 to 50 kΩ over a 44.7 to 300-V working range, with a ±5% independent linearity. Operating temperature range is 40° to 125°C, and custom shaft designs are available. ($11 ea/small qty, $7 ea/large qty — 8 to 10 weeks ARO.)
