Solid-State Contactors accept potentiometer input.

Press Release Summary:

Power switching products accept 0-5 k potentiometer signal and convert it into time proportional output. With cycling capability of twice per second and set-point resolution of 0.5 sinewave, contactors reduce thermal stress and include finger-safe caged terminals, integral heat sink, and universal mounting bracket for DIN-rail or bolt-on installations. Products are available in single-phase models up to 25 or 40 A or three-phase models up to 25 or 35 A per leg.


Original Press Release:

New -- Potentiometer Input Power Controller

Power-IO introduces a new family of potentiometer activated solid state contactors. For use with manual % output control applications; these power switching products accept the industry-standard 0-5k potentiometer signal and convert it into a high speed, time proportional output that is ideal for use with resistive heaters, heat sealing bars, or "manual station" temperature control zones. With a high speed cycling capability of twice a second and a setpoint resolution of 0.5 sinewave; these contactors dramatically increase the life of the heater by reducing thermal stress. Available: single phase 25 amps or 40 amps or three phase 25 amps per leg or 35 amps per leg. The contactors include finger-safe caged terminals, an integral heat sink, and a universal mounting bracket for either din rail or bolt-on installations. For more information, see: www.power-io.com
