Control Potentiometers

Carbon MCA9
9mm carbon potentiometers with plastic enclosure and shaft.
Through-hole and SMD configurations are available. Terminals and collector are normally manufactured in tinned brass, although versions with steel terminals are also available under request. Terminals for through-hole models can be provided straight or crimped, which helps hold the component to the PCB during soldering.

Applications
9mm potentiometers are mainly used in control applications, in different markets:
- Industrial: Timers and relays, dimmers, adjustment of output.
- Electronic appliances: volume regulation, temperature controls and function selection.
- Automotive: Lighting regulation (position adjustment and sensing for headlights), dimmers, seat heating controls.

Cermet MCE9
9mm cermet potentiometers with plastic enclosure and shaft. Cermet potentiometers have better thermal stability, allow for higher thermal dissipation and withstand higher temperatures than carbon potentiometers.
Through-hole and SMD configurations are available. Terminals and collector are manufactured in tinned brass, although versions with steel terminals are also available under request. Terminals for through-hole models can be provided straight or crimped, which helps hold the component to the PCB during soldering.

Applications
9mm cermet potentiometers are used in applications where either the operating temperature is high or where the application requires product with excellent ohmic value stability:
- Electronic appliances: temperature controls.
- Automotive: climate controls, position sensors, seat heating controls.
- Industrial electronics: multimeters, oscilloscopes, time relays, measurement and test equipment.

Carbon MCA14
14mm carbon potentiometers with plastic enclosure and shaft.
Through-hole and SMD configurations are available. Terminals and collector are normally manufactured in tinned brass, although versions with steel terminals are also available under request. Terminals for through-hole models can be provided straight or crimped, which helps hold the component to the PCB during soldering.

Applications
14mm potentiometers are mainly used in control applications, in different markets:
- Electronic household appliances, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, thermostats.

Cermet MCE14
14mm cermet potentiometers with plastic enclosure and shaft.
Cermet potentiometers have better thermal stability, allow for higher thermal dissipation and withstand higher temperatures than carbon potentiometers.
Through-hole and SMD configurations are available. Terminals and collector are manufactured in tinned brass, although versions with steel terminals are also available under request. Terminals for through-hole models can be provided straight or crimped, which helps hold the component to the PCB during soldering.

Applications
14mm cermet potentiometers are used in applications where either the operating temperature is high, or where the applications requires product with excellent ohmic value stability:
- Electronic appliances: boilers, water heaters.
- Industrial electronics: multimeters, oscilloscopes, time relays, measurement and test equipment.
