Type PC610 Series
Tyco specification in polymer technolo-
gy gives this small single turn
potentiometer stability, reliability and
long life. For use in industrial
and consumer applications, this
component offers durability and quality
performance and is available with top
or side mounting versions with
alternative shafts.
The PC610 is an ideal component in
toys, games, computer brightness and
contrast and most suited to similar
large volume applications where the
completely automated manufacture
allows attractive prices to be achieved.
The PC610 is often used without a
control knob with the splined tip
protruding from the facia.
The PC610 is available with or without
centre detent.
