¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ Introduces Two New Industrial-Grade Panel Control Models

Riverside, Calif., August 23, 2011 ¡ª ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ, a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components, today announced two new industrial-grade panel control models that include a push-pull switch and rotary switch. Designated the ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? Model 54, the new ?-inch panel control is an extension of ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? Model 51/53 Series with an added double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) push-pull switch module. The ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? Model 56 is a new ?¡± panel control and is also an extension of the ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? Model 51/53 Series with an added single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) rotary switch module. Both new products are high-performance alternatives to readily available consumer-grade potentiometers with push-pull and rotary switches. Developed to match the requirements of a broad range of industrial, medical and aerospace/avionics applications, ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ¡¯ new panel control models are particularly well-suited for use in test and measurement and communications equipment. ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? Model 54 is also an optimal solution for medical diagnostic and professional audio equipment, while the ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? Model 56 is designed for use in avionics controls and medical laboratory equipment.

The new models measure 12.5 mm and feature metal bushings and shafts, splash seals and a wide range of linear and audio resistance tapers. Rotational life for both models is 50k cycles with contact resistance at 100 m¦¸ for Model 54 and 30 m¦¸ for Model 56. Both models are RoHS compliant.*

"¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ¡¯ new industrial grade panel controls are significant because they provide the flexibility of a panel control plus push-pull switch or rotary switch in one compact component. In addition, the splash seal provides protection from moisture ingression in a wide variety of applications,¡± said Chuck Manzano, Product Specialist for ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ ¡°The new panel controls provide designers with high-performance alternatives to consumer-grade potentiometers, providing end customers with enhanced reliability and improved performance as required by industrial, medical and avionics applications.¡±
