Vishay Sfernice
3/8" Square Panel Potentiometer
Miniature - Cermet - Fully Sealed
P10 panel potentiometer combines the very good setting
stability offered by VISHAY SFERNICE trimmers (due to
their proprietary multifinger wiper), with a mechanical life of
10 000 cycles.
It is an ideal choice to set and control parameters such as
temperature, time, volume levels, etc.
