Vishay / Sfernice P16FNP Cermet Knob Potentiometers

Vishay / Sfernice P16FNP Cermet Knob Potentiometers feature a plastic knob ideal for cost-effective designs. The knob incorporates and drives a cermet potentiometer, greatly reducing the required clearance because only the mounting hardware and terminals are situated on the back side of the panel. The P16FNP series offers a 1W linear power rating at +40°C, a high dielectric strength of 5000VAC, and 10K switch lifecycles. These compact, panel-mounted potentiometers are fully sealed and panel sealed to IP67 standards. The series is also lead free and RoHS compliant. Vishay / Sfernice P16FNP Cermet Knob Potentiometers are designed for professional and industrial applications.
