Vishay potentiometers simplify designs and optimize costs for industrial, audio applications

25 April 2024

New Yorker Electronics has introduced two new Vishay panel potentiometers featuring integrated knobs and IP67 sealing. Offering a high dielectric strength of 5,000 V AC and power ratings up to 1 W at +40° C, the Vishay Sfernice P16F and PA16F are designed to simplify designs and optimize costs in industrial and audio applications.

By integrating a knob with a panel potentiometer in a single component, the devices eliminate the need to purchase and assemble a separate knob. Furthermore, with only the mounting hardware and terminals situated on the back side of the panel, the compact potentiometers reduce the clearance required behindSource: New Yorker ElectronicsSource: New Yorker Electronics the panel to an extremely low less than 15 mm.

With a conductive plastic resistive element, the PA16F is designed for audio applications, while the cermet P16F is intended for industrial motor drives, welding equipment, HVAC and lighting systems, and control panels. With their full IP67 sealing, the devices deliver reliable operation in extreme environmental conditions.

The potentiometers are available with custom knob markings, resistance values, wires and connectors, in addition to detent and switch options. The devices are also available with a metallic knob on request. The P16F and PA16F are tested in accordance with CECC 41000 or IEC 60393-1.

Samples and production quantities of the P16F and PA16F are available now, with lead times of 14 weeks. New Yorker Electronics supplies Vishay Sfernice fixed resistors in wire-wound, metal film, thick film and thin film technologies, as well as a significant range of variable resistors.

Features:

  • Test according to CECC 41000 or IEC 60393-1
  • P16F — version for professional and industrial applications (cermet)
  • 1 W at 40° C
