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
Compact (integrated)
The P16 is a revolutionary concept in panel mounted
potentiometers. This unique design consists of a knob
driving and incorporating a cermet potentiometer. Only the
mounting hardware and terminals are situated on the back
side of the panel reducing to a minimum the required
clearance.
High dielectric strength: 2500 V
