Amphenol's PIHER products are targeted at applications requiring high precision and reliability, such as automotive, aerospace, industrial, marine, and household appliance applications, and users of PIHER position controls and sensors are increasing with the growing demand for smart machines and autonomous vehicles.
The availability of PIHER products means customers can now purchase an even wider range of Amphenol products from Farnell, available for same-day dispatch. Dave Beck, Head of EU & APAC Product Management for Interconnect, Passives & E-mech at Farnell, comments: “This new franchise strengthens our relationship with Amphenol and expands our already extensive range of sensing solutions, increasing the number of sensors and potentiometers available for same-day dispatch to over 9,000 for Farnell customers.”.
Key PIHER products in stock at Farnell include:
• The high-precision PST 360 non-contact angle sensor features a through-shaft sensor design with 360° absolute position feedback in an extremely slim package. With built-in redundancy, this sensor is ideal for use in a wide range of off-road, construction, and agricultural electronic steering applications. It can be easily adapted for outboard steering and throttle control in the marine industry, sports and fitness equipment, wind indicators, automation equipment, and medical devices.
The PSX-6 and PS-6 6mm SMT potentiometers offer configurable capabilities for design flexibility in a very small package. Their low-profile, dustproof design allows for use in space-constrained applications. A durable version of the PS-6 provides a cost-effective control solution for the appliance and automotive industries.
The PIHER PS2P-CON sensor offers immunity to radial and axial backlash in moving shafts, and the PS2P-LIN non-contact linear position sensor minimizes errors when measuring linear positioning. Both designs prevent significant misalignment, poor operational performance, and labor-intensive maintenance. As absolute sensors, they retain measurement values even after a power outage.
