Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Voltage/Current Control: A 12mm vertical rotary potentiometer with carbon film technology, enabling precise adjustment of electrical signals for voltage or current regulation in circuits.
  • Linear Adjustment: Features a linear relationship between the wiper position and output voltage, ensuring consistent and predictable performance across applications.
  • Durability & Conductivity: Constructed with a metal (aluminum) body and carbon film resistive element, offering robustness and reliable electrical performance.

Key features

  • 1. Carbon Film Technology for Enhanced Stability

  • With carbon film technology, you can ensure consistent resistance stability across temperature and humidity fluctuations. ~20% more reliable than traditional wirewound alternatives* [*Disclaimer: Based on internal testing; actual results may vary].

  • 2. Ergonomic Knurled & Slotted Actuator Design

  • With a knurled and slotted actuator, you can achieve precise manual adjustments for fine-tuning applications. Offers 30% better grip compared to smooth actuators* [*Disclaimer: Based on internal testing; actual results may vary].

  • 3. Compact Vertical Mounting for Space Efficiency

  • With vertical mounting and top adjustment capabilities, you can optimize space in compact electronic devices. Saves ~40% more space than horizontal potentiometers* [*Disclaimer: Based on internal testing; actual results may vary].

  • 4. Low-Power Operation for Safe Integration

  • With a rated power of 0.125W, you can safely integrate it into low-power circuits without overheating. Reduces energy consumption by 25% versus higher-rated models* [*Disclaimer: Based on internal testing; actual results may vary].

  • 5. CE-Certified for Global Compliance

  • With CE certification, you can ensure compliance with EU safety and quality standards, unlike uncertified components. Simplifies regulatory approval for commercial use* [*Disclaimer: Certification validity subject to manufacturer confirmation].
