Recently, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced the launch of two new panel potentiometers with built-in knob switches, P16F and PA16F, with IP67 sealing. Vishay Sfernice P16F and PA16F potentiators with dielectric strength up to 5000 VAC and power rating of 1 W at +40 °C, which can be used to simplify industrial and audio application design and optimize cost.

The recently released a new device is one of the main characteristics of the knob and panel potentiometer is integrated into a component, and assembly without having to buy a single knob. This not only simplifies the design process, but also reduces costs for the manufacturer. In addition, the mounting hardware and terminal are conveniently located on the back of the panel, and the required clearance on the back of the micropotentiometer panel is less than 15 mm, providing an additional spacesaving advantage.

By combining these vital components into a single unit, Vishay not only simplifies the design and assembly process for industrial and audio applications, but also provides simplified and cost-effective solutions for real-world applications. The IP67 seal construction ensures reliable performance even in harsh environments, making these potentiometers suitable for a variety of challenging applications. The introduction of the new rotary potentiometer for the P16F and PA16F reflects Vishay's commitment to providing innovative solutions to meet the changing needs of industry and audio, and Vishay's innovative move will have a significant impact on the industry.
