Multi-Turn Wire-Wound Potentiometer           Series 46xx 
  

 High Precision Range

   -  Very High Resolution

   -  3 to 20 Turn Models

   - ±0.3% Standard Linearity

   -  0.5 to 500K Resistance Values
 

The 46xx series is characterized by very high resolution and is available in 3 to 20 turns (25 and 30 turns optional) in a wide range of resistance values. Integral SPDT limit switches are optional. Single switch configuration activates at the beginning of travel and dual switch configuration activates at the beginning and end of travel. Robust construction makes this high power series suitable for a wide variety of automatic control applications.
