This document describes the features and characteristics of three types of metal shaft rotary potentiometers in the RK117 series, including total resistance tolerance, maximum operating voltage, total rotational angle, rotational torque, operating life, and operating temperature range. The recommended product list includes single-shaft models with and without switches, as well as low-profile models with 1.5mm or 0.5mm travel push-on switches.
The RK117 series offers metal‑shaft rotary potentiometers in three configurations: without a switch, with a 0.5 mm travel push‑on switch, or with a 1.5 mm travel push‑on switch. They are suitable for car audio, other audio equipment, vehicle cabin accessories, and communication devices.
The document lists mechanical and electrical characteristics, recommended product part numbers, mounting dimensions, and environmental limits such as operating temperature and voltage. Detailed tables give resistance values, torque, life cycles, and switch ratings for each variant.
