Terminal: 1
PACKAGING
• Box of 15, 20, 25, or 50 pieces, code B12, B15, B17, or B25, depending of body and shaft construction
Hardware: nuts, washer, and O-ring are separately supplied (not mounted on the potentiometer), in a small bag placed in the packaging.
OPTIONS
SPECIAL FEATURES
Panel sealing
Except for dia. 4 mm shaft, an O.ring is supplied with the potentiometer. This O.ring should be placed
into the groove of the body and ensures the panel sealing.
For dia. 4 mm shaft please see note “P” in ordering information.
Shaft locking
Shafts
Shaft lengths are measured from the mounting face to the free end of the shaft. Special shafts are
available if the customer supplies a drawing. The shaft slot is aligned to the wiper within ± 10°.
Except for dia. 4 mm shaft, the potentiometers are delivered with 2 opposite locating pegs orientated
at 45°.These 2 pegs can be easily broken-off by the customer. On request, the orientation of the pegs
can be at 30° instead of 45°.
