Specify the type 17P for applications where high insulation resistance and voltage proof are
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.
