CARBON – CA14
14mm carbon potentiometers with plastic housing and Ingress
Protection rating type IP 54 (high level of protection against dust
and also against water splashing), according to IEC 60529. Plastic
materials can be self-extinguishable according to UL 94 V-0 under
request.
Through-hole and SMD configurations are available. Terminals and
collector are normally manufactured in tinned brass, although versions
with steel terminals are also available under request. Terminals for
through-hole models can be provided straight or crimped, which
helps hold the component to the PCB during soldering.
Tapers can be linear, log and antilog; special tapers can also be
studied.
ACP’s potentiometers can be adjusted from either the front or the
back, both in the horizontal and the vertical adjustment types.
Thumbwheels and shafts can be ordered either separately or already
inserted in the potentiometer.
Potentiometers can be manufactured in a wide range of possibilities
regarding:
- Resistance value.
- Tolerance.
- Tapers / variation laws.
- Pitch.
- Positioning of the wiper (standard is at 50% rotation).
- Housing and rotor color.
- Mechanical life.
- Click effect (up to 38 detents available).
- Self-extinguishable plastic parts according to UL 94 V-0.
Applications
14mm potentiometers are mainly used in control applications in
different markets:
- Electronic household appliances, heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) equipment, thermostats.
- Automotive: HVAC controls, lighting regulation (position adjustment
and sensing), dimmers, seat heating controls.
- Industrial electronics: multimeters, oscilloscopes, time relays,
measurement and test equipment.
CERMET – CE14
14mm cermet potentiometers with plastic housing and Ingress
Protection rating type IP 54 (high level of protection against dust
and also against water splashing), according to IEC 60529. Plastic
materials (housing and rotor) are self-extinguishable according to
UL 94 V-0. ACP’s cermet potentiometers have better thermal stability,
allow for higher thermal dissipation and withstand higher
temperatures than carbon potentiometers.
Through-hole and SMD configurations are available. Terminals and
collector are manufactured in tinned brass, although versions with
steel terminals are also available under request. Terminals for
through-hole models can be provided straight or crimped, which
helps hold the component to the PCB during soldering.
Tapers can be linear, log and antilog; special tapers can also be
studied.
ACP’s potentiometers can be adjusted from either the front or the

- Tapers / variation laws.
- Pitch.
- Positioning of the wiper (the standard is at 50%).
- Housing and rotor color.
- Mechanical life.
- Click effect (up to 38 detents available).
Applications
14mm cermet potentiometers are used in applications where either
the operating temperature is high, or where the applications requires
product with excellent ohmic value stability:
- Electronic appliances: boilers, water heaters.
- Automotive: climate controls, position sensors.
- Industrial electronics: multimeters, oscilloscopes, time relays,
measurement and test equipment.

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. For example, a special taper can be matched with a potentiometer with detents (click effect), to guarantee
a value in a specific position – see “detents” section.-

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.
Mechanical life with cut track needs to be confirmed.
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.

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. They can be evenly distributed along the angle (standard) or
tailored to match customers’ request. They can also be combined with special tapers: constant value areas, open circuit zone, different
slopes, etc. One common example is a potentiometer with detents and matching non-overlapping voltage values in specific angular
positions used to feed in a voltage value to a microprocessor:
Example of 5DT with control of value in each DT.

Our patented design with two wipers has improved the performance of these potentiometers, giving them more stable electrical parameters,
improved reliability and Contact Resistance Variation (CRV) and narrower tolerances for detent positioning.
For potentiometers with detents, mechanical life is also 1.000 cycles, if no additional cycles are mentioned. Up to 10.000 cycles are
available. Please, indicate the number of cycles needed with LV (number of cycles), for example: LV10, for 10.000 cycles.
Terminals
By default, terminals are always straight, as shown on the “models” section. ACP can provide crimped terminals (with
snap in, “SNP” or “SNR”) to better hold the component to the PCB during the soldering operation.

Shafts
Shafts are available in different colors (color chart in “how to order” section) and with self-extinguishable property,
according to UL 94 V-0, under request. ACP can study special shaft designs.
Shafts can be sold separately or delivered already mounted on the potentiometer at ACP.
When a shaft is mounted, the distance from the top of the potentiometer to the top of the shaft is marked with “L” in the table below, as

Thumbwheel
Thumbwheels are available in different colors (color chart in “how to order” section) and with self-extinguishable
property according to UL 94 V-0, under request.
Thumbwheels can be mounted on the potentiometers at ACP or sold separately. ACP can study special thumbwheel designs.
