This document is a technical data sheet for CT's 270 series precision rotary potentiometers. The potentiometer has a resistance range of 100Ω to 5MΩ and can be adjusted by rotating the shaft. It can also be equipped with a switch.
The CTS 270 Series data sheet provides detailed electrical and mechanical specifications for miniature 5/8" (16 mm) resistors. It covers resistance ranges, tolerances, power and voltage ratings, as well as various mounting styles and terminal configurations.
The document also lists ordering information, available shaft and bushing dimensions, and optional features such as water‑seal construction and special resistance tapers. It is intended for designers and engineers selecting the appropriate CTS resistor for their applications.
