Compact long-life potentiometer

4 October 2006 Passive Components

As today's equipment is becoming more and more compact, with improved integration and with more functions, the panel-mount type potentiometer as used for adjusting voltages, has been required to become more compact. Along with this, the demand for high-reliability in equipment has also been increasing. To meet this demand, Panasonic has developed a compact potentiometer series, believed to have the industry's smallest size in its class.

The 14,5 x 9,7 x 9 mm (LxWxH) potentiometer of the EWSKOA series, offers high endurance (2 million cycles). It will find application in general-purpose electronic measuring equipment, control equipment, electronic instrument, radio communications and amusement machines. With the directly-mounted connector installed, mounting operations are simplified.
