rugged potentiometer 2

[grobbins]

I need a rugged-wash down 10K potentiometer for outdoor use. I would like a supplier that provides the enclosure and knob for the potentiometer.

Any suggestions?

Motor control manufacturers such as Allen Bradley, Square-D, Cutler Hammer etc. Most have NEMA 4 (washdown / outdoor) versions of their pots for use with variable frequency drives etc. Here is one from Sq.-D, you would order the box separately or pre-built with the pot.

Vishay Sfernice make the P16 series of sealed cermet pots. The body is hermetically sealed, while the panel mounting is sealed by an O-ring. They have an integrated knob. Available from RS Components in the UK for £4.48 each, and no doubt from dozens of other places too. They are physically quite compact, and are of good quality.
