Vishay / Sfernice P16 Compact Panel Potentiometers

Vishay / Sfernice P16 Compact Panel Potentiometers feature a unique integrated design incorporating the potentiometer and knob in one assembly, with no accessories required. The mounting hardware and terminals are situated on the panel’s backside, reducing the clearance needed to a minimum. Vishay/Sfernice P16 Compact Panel Potentiometers are fully sealed with an IP67 ingress rating, have a high 2500Vrms dielectric strength, and the knob can be customized in material, color, and face markings.
