Residing in a dust-proof enclosure, the PS15 comes standard with a 240° electrical angle, and linear, log, and anti-log tapers. Performance characteristics include a rotational angle of 265º ±5 º, an operating temperature of -40ºC to + 85ºC, and tolerances of ±30%. Other selection options include a SPDT switch, extended life cycle, custom tapers, measured linearity, and different electrical angles. Pricing starts at $0.46 each/10,000.
