CE9

The CE9 is a 9mm cermet potentiometer manufactured by ACP Technologies (Aragonesa de Componentes Pasivos). It features a plastic housing with an Ingress Protection rating of IP54, providing a high level of protection against dust and water splashing.

This potentiometer utilizes cermet technology, offering superior thermal stability, higher thermal dissipation, and the ability to withstand higher temperatures compared to carbon potentiometers. It is available in both through-hole and SMD mounting configurations. The terminals and collector are made from tinned brass. Terminals for through-hole models can be straight or crimped for easier PCB mounting during soldering.

Electrical specifications include resistance ranges from 100 Ω to 5 MΩ for linear tapers and 1 kΩ to 2.2 MΩ for logarithmic and antilogarithmic tapers, with a standard tolerance of ±20%. The electrical angle is 220° ±20°. Power dissipation at 70°C is 0.50W for linear and 0.20W for log/antilog tapers. The operating temperature range is -25°C to +90°C.

Mechanical specifications include a mechanical rotation angle of 240° ±10° and a mechanical life of 1,000 cycles. Applications include industrial controls, electronic appliances, automotive systems, and measurement equipment.
