15/16" (24mm) Diameter 1/2 Watt Composition Variable Resistors are available in a variety of mounting styles, including bushing, twist tab, bend tab, snap-in PC bracket, solder lug or PC terminals. They have a wide resistance range, molded / metal shaft & bushing, pull-push, push-push and rotary power switches, shaft and bushing waterseal available, rear extended shaft available, single, tandem, or concentric constructions, special vernier adjust (multiturn) construction available for fine adjustment, and long life construction available.
The CTS Series 450 variable resistors offer a low‑cost, versatile mounting options such as bushing, twist tab, snap‑in PC bracket, and solder lug terminals. They are available in standard, tandem, concentric, and special vernier‑adjust constructions, with options for long‑life and water‑sealed shafts.
Key specifications include a resistance range of 100 Ω to 10 MΩ, power ratings up to 1/2 W, voltage ratings up to 1080 VAC (750 VDC operating maximum), and various rotational angles. The series is RoHS compliant (except two push‑push switch models) and provides multiple mounting and shaft options to suit diverse applications.
