OMEG POTENTIOMETER CODING

The model type given to our potentiometers is explained on this page and covers both unswitched and switch potentiometers. Please note that not all options are available in each potentiometer range.
A unique code, or part number that specifies all the parameters of the potentiometer down to the specific spindle, is not used due to the bespoke nature of our business, please return to your previous page where you will find links to an enquiry form for your use.

The format is POTENTIOMETER CODE (/SWITCH CODE) where the switch code is only added if appropriate.

The potentiometer code is in three parts:

Prefix (Potentiometer terminals)
- BR - Bracket (included with printed circuit terminals)
