The standard taper is linear (A). Log (B) and Antilog (C) tapers are also available, as well as special tapers according
to customer’s specifications.

Potentiometers
with cut track
The cut track is an area with very high resistive value, resulting in an open circuit. It is widely used in lighting applications.
PCI = Cut at initial position, when the potentiometer is turned fully counter clockwise.
PCF = Cut at final position, when the potentiometer is turned fully clockwise.
Other positions are available on request.

SNP
Also, there is an option of having shorter terminal tips.
By default, terminals are always crimped (with snap in, “SNP”) to better hold the component to the PCB during the
soldering operation, except for VS5, with short terminals that do not allow for SNP.
ACP can provide straight terminals if needed.

Possibilities
for insertion
of accessories
Accessories can be mounted on potentiometers through either the front side (WT) or the collector side (WTI). For the
specific angular position of shafts with planes, a drawing with the exact position is requested.
