N-15

Low Profile Rotary Position Sensor / Potentiometer

The N-15 series converts angular position into a proportional analog voltage with endless rotation, 340º wide electrical angle, SMD or through-hole mount, an extended working temperature range of –40ºC to +120ºC and a whole series of customisation possibilities making it  the most flexible product on the market. The N-15 is ideal for appliance and automotive control and sensor applications.
