TT electronics BI Technologies Develops Miniature Panel Potentiometers for Audio, Video & Communication Equipment

According to Richard Hsieh, marketing director for TT electronics BI Technologies, the P08x Series potentiometers provide a wider range of configurations and options for modern miniature designs. “The conductive plastic elements, various mounting options and extended life cycles are ideal for applications that require reliable, long-life pots in small electronic devices,” he says. “The P08x Series enables our customers to have access to BI Technologies panel potentiometers in the smallest package yet.”

The P08x Series potentiometers are constructed with a conductive polymer resistive element that delivers the high cycle life with low noise. Resistance range is 500 to 1M ohms, with standard tolerances to ±20%. Taper options include A (audio); B (linear); and C (reverse linear). Operating temperature range is from -55°C to +125°C, and the potentiometers are rated dust-proof to IP50 standards. Custom designs are also available.

The P08x Series panel potentiometers include:
• P08xN – side adjust potentiometer module, multi-ganged (up to 4 gangs)
• P08xS – side adjust rotary switch module, multi-ganged (up to 4 gangs)
• P08xD – side adjust dual shaft module, multi-ganged (up to 4 gangs)
• P08xE – side adjust dual shaft with rotary switch module, multi-ganged (up to 4 gangs)
