PE60: 6-Watt Power Panel Potentiometer

The Key Benefits:

• Industry's first power panel potentiometer with a cermet element to offer a power rating of 6 W at 50 °C
• Convenient wire terminations
• Offers a compact 25-mm diameter
  • Smaller than other panel potentiometers
• Strong dielectric (2500 VRMS) and non-inductive design offer greater robustness
• Operating temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C ensures reliable operation even in extreme environments
• Provides resistance ranges from 1 Ω to 1 MΩ

The Key Applications:

• Industrial and aeronautic control panel and heavy-duty control applications in end products including cockpits, trucks and tractors, HVAC systems, welding machines, tooling machines, field and mine equipment, and water-resistant equipment

The News:

New Vishay Sfernice PE60 is Industry's First Power Panel Potentiometer With a Cermet Element to Offer a Power Rating of 6 W at 50 °C, and Provides Resistance Ranges from 1 Ω to 1 M Ω and Dielectric Strength of 2500 VRMS in Compact, Fully Sealed Package

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) announces the industry's first power panel potentiometer with a cermet element to feature a 6-W power rating at 50 °C.

• Its cermet element provides better stability than carbon elements
• Custom shafts are available
• Offers a low 3 % typical contact resistance variation and 1 % typical end resistance
• Provides a maximum operating torque of 4.3 oz.-inch and an end stop torque of 6 lb.-inch
• Electrical performance is in accordance with CECC 41 000

Key Device Specifications:

• 6-W power rating at 50 °C
• 1- Ω to 1-M Ω resistance ranges
• 2500-V_RMS dielectric strength
• 25-mm diameter
• 3 % typical contact resistance variation
• 1 % typical end resistance
• Standard ±20 % tolerance, with tolerances of 5 % and 10 % available
• Maximum operating torque of 4.3 oz.-inch
• End stop torque of 6 lb.-inch
• 3 % typical contact resistance variation
• Operating temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C

The Perspective:

Vishay's new PE60 is the industry's first power panel potentiometer with a cermet element to feature a 6-W power rating at 50 °C. The device offers US and EU bushing threads in a fully sealed package; and with a compact 25-mm diameter, the PE60 is smaller when compared to other panel potentiometers. Its cermet element provides better stability than carbon elements, while its strong dielectric (2500 VRMS), and non-inductive design offer greater robustness in industrial and aeronautic control applications.

Availability:

Samples and production quantities of the PE60 are available now, with lead times of eight to 10 weeks for larger orders.
