Potentiometer and detent
control come together
Control potentiometer with detent control mechanism provide cost effective solution for appliance controls
New from Piher, the DCM-PT15 was designed to provide a cost effective solution for appliance controls. The combination of a PT15/PS15 control potentiometer with a detent control mechanism (DCM) offers the appliance designer the option to solder the potentiometer onto the control PCB assembly and then, in a second operation, assemble the DCM over it.
This removes the need to build detents into the user front panel of the appliance, simplifying and significantly reducing the total cost of the solution.
The detent torque can be modified according to customer requirements (depending on the input dial's diameter etc) as can the number and position of the detents. Request a free brochure from Piher International....
