Vishay PRV6/PARV6 Fully Sealed Potentiometers Datasheet
This document provides technical data for the Vishay PRV6 and PARV6 series of fully sealed potentiometers. The PRV6 model utilizes a cermet resistive element with a power rating of 1.5W at 70°C, while the PARV6 model uses conductive plastic with a rating of 0.75W at 70°C.
The datasheet details electrical specifications such as resistance ranges from 20Ω to 1MΩ for linear laws and tolerance options including ±20% and ±10%. It also lists mechanical specifications, environmental ratings (operating temperature -55°C to +125°C), and provides a comprehensive ordering guide with various shaft lengths, terminal types, and taper codes.
