Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2455616 Type J potentiometer is a classic hot-molded carbon variable resistor rated at 2 watts. This used unit maintains the sealed, durable construction that made Allen-Bradley Type J pots the industry standard for decades. The ±10% tolerance and robust carbon composition element make it suitable for a wide range of analog control circuits in industrial equipment, including process controls, instrumentation, and equipment calibration.
Key Features
- Hot-molded carbon element for long service life and repeatability
- 2-watt power rating suitable for analog control circuits
- Sealed construction prevents contamination and moisture ingress
- ±10% resistance tolerance for predictable performance
- Operating voltage up to 500 volts maximum
- 0.250-inch diameter shaft with standard 3/8-inch bushing for panel mounting
Technical Specifications
