Bridging the gap between low power, high resistance potentiometers and high power, lower resistance wirewound rheostats, Ohmite's new PE Series thick film potentiometers
have a metal shaft and ceramic housing to provide a smooth linear operation and low noise performance.

Rated at 5 watts, the PE Series is available in resistance ranges from 50 ohms to 20 megohns with a standard tolerance of 20%. Being a combination of rugged Ohmite wirewound rheostat construction with the thick film expertise of their Victoreen Components Division, the potentiometers are designed for the industrial environment and have a rotational life of 25,000 cycles.

With a dielectric strength of 900V rms and an ambient operating temperature of -65C to +125 degC, this is a component suited to tough conditions.
