NOTE: FMS = From Mounting Surface
Resistance Tolerance: M =
20% (standard).
Resistance Code: Expressed in ohms. A three digit code where the first two digits are significant figures, and the third digit indicates the number of zeros that follow these figures (i.e., 100 = 10 Ω ; 101 = 100 Ω ; 102 = 1,000 Ω ; 103 = 10,000 Ω ; 105 = 1,000,000 Ω ). See table for standard resistance values. Resistance Taper: B = Linear. Shaft End Style: S = Slotted. F = Flatted. R = Round. Standard Shaft Length: 10 = 10mm FMS; 15 = 15mm FMS. Up to 30mm shaft length available (special order ). Design Type: 3 = Design Variation of 12mm Size. Style: N = Panel Mount, Single Unit, Single Shaft, Rear Exit Vertical Lug Terminals, 3-Lug Triangular Pattern (standard). P = PCB Mount, Single Unit, Single Shaft, Rear Exit Vertical Mount Pin Terminals, 3-Pin Triangular Pattern (special order ). Operating Temperature Range: Y = Size: 12 = 12mm Diameter. Rotational Life: Q = Long Life, 50,000 cycles. TOCOS Series Name: RV = Carbon Film Element. 10 C to 85 C.
