3680 Pushbutton Family


Bourns has a pushbutton precision potentiometer family. This product deviates from the "traditional" potentiometer with a unique design. Adjustments are made to this potentiometer by pushbuttons rather than turning a shaft with a moving wiper. This model family also features a digital face readout and snap-in mount. Dust covers are available for use in harsh environments.

This model family is best used in applications where a customer needs very precise setting repeatability. The resistance ranges are from 1 kΩ to 1 MegΩ.


The product features and customer benefits for this model family can be summarized as follows:
