FCP50A   -     1-Turn Potentiometer

 

    Standard resistance values 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ

    Travel 350°

    Linearity tolerance: standard and precision class  

     Servo-mount

 

 

These 1-turn Potentiometers are fully continuous rotation potentiometers without stopper. They are highly reliable in offering an excellent quality as well as a prolonged rotating life. The resistive element is made of Conductive Plastic (FCP-A). It is respectively contained in an aluminium housing case processed by electrolytic corrosion-proof plating in black color with performances and dimensions according to U.S. MIL, and V.R.C.I. Standards. They are light in weight and small in size as well as of rigid construction.

Notes:

2. In case of potentiometers with special resistance values and special specifications, the above performances may change and

    therefore, please consult us in advance, separately.

3. As for operating temperature range, we can not guarantee that all values of performances can satisfy within this operating

    temperature range.

4. The above values of performances based on each testing were measured after each testing completed, respectively, under standard

    conditions. As for the values during testing and other values not mentioning in the above table, please ask us separately.
