Description
- The RM063 carbon potentiometer is a versatile component featuring a 6mm single turn carbon film design. It incorporates a carbon resistive element and is adjusted from the side, making it convenient for various applications. Constructed with a plastic substrate and utilizing an over-molding manufacturing technique, this potentiometer ensures durability and reliability. It is designed for through-hole mounting and comes with the wiper positioned at 50% for optimal performance.
- The RM063 offers a standard resistance range from 10 ohms to 1M ohms, with a tolerance of ±30%. For contact resistance variation, it maintains a maximum of 30 ohms for resistances under 1K ohm and 3% for those above 1K ohm. Its rotational angle is 210°± 20°, providing precise control. With a power rating of 0.1W at 50℃, it operates efficiently within a temperature range of -10℃ to +70℃. Additionally, the design includes protection against accidental rotor movement, ensuring stability during use. The RM063 is compliant with RoHS standards, making it a safe and environmentally friendly choice for electronic projects.
