Sometimes we have ideas that seem to clash with the world, as we know it. But if we are willing to take a different approach and look at things from a different point of view; they might become a reality. This way of thinking confirms what we understood at ACP some time ago: to be innovative we need to look at things from a different perspective, we need to challenge the established standards.

Potentiometers with detents ACP’s patented detent (DT) feature is especially suitable for control applications where the end user will turn a knob inserted in the potentiometer. Detents can be used to add a click feeling to the turning of the potentiometer or to control the position in which the wiper is placed, assuring a particular output value with a narrow tolerance. Detents can be light or strong, or even a combination of different feelings.

COM Rotary Switches 88 www.acptechnologies.com Specifications on this catalog are for reference only, as they are subject to change without notice.
ROTARY SWITCH – COM Rotary switches are available in all different models already existing for the potentiometers: 6, 9 and 14mm in carbon and cermet technology. Please, refer to those sections to choose the external configuration of your switch. ACP’s Rotary switches are based on the design of the potentiometers: they have one input and two possible outputs. The commuting angle between outputs can be customized. Through-hole and SMD configurations are available.
COM HOW TO ORDER ACP’s switches (COM) follow the same configuration as the potentiometers, as shown in previous sections of this catalogue. The word COM needs to be added to the description. The cells 5, 6 and 7 (value, taper and tol) are left blank. If the switching angle is different from our standard, then it should be indicated.
Electric Function The three terminals of the potentiometer are equivalent to one input (B) and two outputs (A and C), as shown in the figure. The middle terminal (B) corresponds to the internal wiper, which switches between positions. The switching angle can be customized. Unless otherwise requested, the housing will be neutral color, with the marking in black.
