FS 16N Product Diagram
It offers adjustable resistance values from 5KΩ to 1MΩ (with a standard tolerance of ±20%; ±10% tolerance is available as an option) and supports core functions such as audio volume adjustment, motor speed regulation, and temperature control in both consumer and industrial equipment. The potentiometer features a customizable shaft handle—available in half-round (6mm diameter) or plum-shaped (8mm diameter) designs—and an optional color shell (black, white, or gray) to match device aesthetics. Its robust construction ensures stable performance even in high-vibration environments, making it a versatile choice for diverse applications.
Versatile Control Capabilities: Enables precise adjustment of multiple parameters, including audio frequency (in amplifiers), light intensity (in LED fixtures), and menu navigation (in industrial control panels). It offers a smooth rotation feel with a detent option (12 detents per 360°) for incremental control, ideal for applications requiring fixed adjustment steps.
Highly Customizable Design: Beyond handle and shell options, it supports custom modifications such as non-printed shells (for brand-specific labeling), extended shafts (15mm-30mm length for deep enclosures), and special terminal configurations (solder lug or PCB mount). The resistance taper can also be customized (linear, logarithmic, or anti-logarithmic) based on application needs.
Wide Compatibility: Works with low-voltage circuits (3.3V-24V DC) commonly found in consumer electronics (e.g., 5V USB-powered devices) and industrial equipment (e.g., 24V PLC systems). It has a power rating of 0.5W (at 70°C), suitable for low-power signal control.
Robust Build for Harsh Conditions: The housing is made of high-impact ABS plastic (UL 94 V-0), and the resistor element uses a carbon film with a protective coating to resist wear. It can withstand vibration up to 10G (10-2000Hz) and shock up to 50G, making it suitable for automotive (under the dashboard) and sports equipment (treadmill control panels) applications.
Audio equipment: Used in power amplifiers, tuners, mixers, and car stereos for volume and tone control, with logarithmic taper options for natural audio adjustment.
Automotive electronics: Applied in in-car navigation systems (screen brightness control), climate control panels (fan speed adjustment), and seat heating controls.
Industrial and medical devices: Suitable for treadmill speed regulators, medical equipment (e.g., ultrasound machine intensity knobs), and industrial control panels (motor speed adjustment).
Consumer electronics: Used in children’s toys (remote-controlled car speed knobs), LED desk lamps (brightness control), and home appliances (air conditioner fan speed settings).
Q: What resistance values and tolerances are available, and how do I choose the right one?
A: Standard resistance values include 5KΩ, 10KΩ, 20KΩ, 50KΩ, 100KΩ, 200KΩ, 500KΩ, and 1MΩ (±20% tolerance). For high-precision applications (e.g., medical devices), ±10% tolerance is available. Choose the value based on the circuit’s total resistance—for example, a 10KΩ potentiometer works best in circuits with 1KΩ-100KΩ total resistance.
Q: Can it be customized with specific handle styles or shaft lengths for my device?
A: Yes, we offer custom handle designs (e.g., knurled, rubber-coated) and shaft lengths (15mm-30mm) to fit different enclosure depths. We can also add branding or markings to the shell (e.g., your company logo) for OEM projects.
Q: Is it suitable for high-vibration environments like automotive underhood applications?
A: While it withstands vibration up to 10G (suitable for dashboard or interior use), it is not recommended for underhood applications (exposed to extreme heat and oil). For underhood use, consider our RKM-16NH model with high-temperature resistance (-40°C to 125°C).
Q: Does it support soldering, and what is the maximum soldering temperature?
A: Yes, it has solderable terminals compatible with lead-free soldering processes. The maximum soldering temperature is 260°C, with a soldering time of no more than 5 seconds (to avoid damaging the resistor element).
