Vishay Submersible Cermet Panel Potentiometer

Vishay Intertechnology Inc and ACAL Technology announced the industry’s first, new submersible cermet panel potentiometer which is fully IP68 sealed against deep sea water. Featuring a stainless steel shaft and bushing, the P13SM is designed for applications where electrical parameters need to be set with an immersed potentiometer in deep sea salt water conditions up to 30 m (100 feet). The device achieves corrosion resistance times of up to 960 hours in a salt spray test. The Vishay Submersible Cermet Panel Potentiometer features heavy-duty construction and is optimized for use as a voltage divider operator interface for submarine scooters, underwater equipment and lighthouses. The P13SM Vishay Submersible Cermet Panel Potentiometer reduces costs by eliminating the need to design and build sealed protection against sea salt water for the device in these applications.
