Fully Sealed Container Cermet Potentiometers
Military and Professional Grade
P13
Vishay Sfernice
P13 potentiometers fully conform to CECC 41301-001
specification. Their excellent performances are due to the
use of a cermet-track sealed in a large case.
P13 interchangeability with RV6, combined with the excellent
stability of its rated characteristics make it fully acceptable for
military and professional uses.
FEATURES

Special Feature Command Shaft
Length is measured from the mounting surface to the free end of the shaft. The screwdriver slot is
aligned with the wiper within ± 10°. Special shafts are available, in accordance to drawings supplied
by customers. We recommend that customers should not machine tool shafts, in order to avoid
damage. Bending or torsion of terminals should also be avoided.
Panel Sealing
Potentiometers P13T and P13V can be fitted with a device providing sealing between the threaded
bushing and the front panel. Their designation is P13T and P13N respectively or with a locating peg
P13T...E and P13N...E.

Shaft Locking
On potentiometers equipped with a 3 mm Ø shaft, shaft locking can be obtained:
• Either by a taper nut tightening a slotted bushing. Ask for P13O type. These devices are normally
equipped with an AB type shaft (12.5 mm with a slot).
P13O
• Or by a tightening nut locked by a screw. Ask for ES1 type. On potentiometers equipped with a
Ø 6 mm shaft, locking can be obtained by a taper nut applying pressure on a slotted notched washer.
This device is supplied in a box as an accessory. Ask for DBAN.
These devices are ordered separately. Please consult Vishay Sfernice.
