Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
Resistance Range 1 ohm through 20K ohms (linear taper) Resistance Tolerance Available: ±5%, ±10%, ±20% Power Rating, Watts Standard: 2 watts @ 55°C, derated to no load @ 105°C linear taper, control mounted on metal panel 4" x 4" x .050" (101.6mm x 101.6mm x 1.27mm) Voltage Rating Terminals to case (insulated types only) High pot test, one minute — 900 VAC Operating maximum — 500 VDC Across end terminals Determined by resistance value and wattage rating Resistance Taper Linear (±3% independent linearity, standard) Taps None Incorporated Fixed Resistor A fixed resistor can be incorporated in the Series 115 at the end of CW or CCW rotation to a minimum of 15% of the total resistance value. The rotation is shortened by an amount proportional to the ratio of the fixed resistor to the total resistance value. Angle of Rotation 270° ± 5° Adjustment of Resistance Standard: Cross slot provided in rotor for screwdriver adjustment. Special: Molded nylon, screwdriver-slotted shafts which are integral with rotor are available in many lengths in increments of 1/8" (3.2mm) up to a maximum of 2" (50.8mm). Available Mounting Types Printed circuit mounted: Twist tab mounted: Ear mounted: Rivet ear mounted: Type 115 Type P115 Type 116 Type 117
Terminal Information Grounded Construction — The grounded construction is supplied without a center terminal and the contactor is connected to the case. This construction can be furnished with one end terminal at either end of the resistance element or with terminals at both ends of the element. Insulated Construction — The contactor is insulated from the base and connected to the center terminal on the insulated construction. This construction can be supplied with the center terminal and one end terminal at either end of the resistance element or with the center terminal and terminals at both ends of the resistance element. Rotational Torque Turning Torque: 1/2 to 10 inch-ounces (36 – 720 g-cm) Stop Strength: 4 inch-pounds (4.6 Kg-cm) Technical Data Sheet 1448C Technical Data Sheet 1115
