Potentiometers for use in electronic equipment - Part 1: Generic specification

IEC 60393-1:2008(E) is applicable to all types of resistive potentiometers, including lead-screw actuated types, presets, multi-turn units, etc. to be used in electronic equipment. It establishes standard terms, inspection procedures and methods of test for use in sectional and detail specifications of electronic components for quality assessment or any other purpose. It has been mainly written, and the test methods described, to conform to the widely used single-turn rotary potentiometer with an operating shaft . This edition contains the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: implementation of Annex H which replaces Section 3 of the previous edition. It also includes minor revisions related to tables, figures and references.

Potentiometer zur Verwendung in Geräten der Elektronik - Teil 1: Fachgrundspezifikation

Potentiomètres utilisés dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 1: Spécification générique

L'IEC 60393-1:2008 est applicable à tous les types de potentiomètres résistifs, y compris les potentiomètres à commande par vis, les potentiomètres d'ajustement, les potentiomètres multitours, etc., utilisés dans les équipements électroniques. Elle définit les termes normalisés et établit des procédures de contrôle et des méthodes d'essai normalisées à utiliser dans les spécifications intermédiaires et particulières de composants électroniques pour l'assurance de la qualité ou à toute autre fin. Elle a été principalement rédigée, et les méthodes d'essai ont été décrites, pour être en conformité avec les potentiomètres rotatifs monotour avec axe de commande, qui sont largement répandus. Cette édition comporte les modifications techniques significatives suivantes par rapport à la précédente édition: mise en oeuvre de l'Annexe H, qui remplace la section 3 de la précédente édition.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2009-07-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.
CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Foreword The text of document 40/1897/FDIS, future edition 3 of IEC 60393-1, prepared by IEC TC 40, Capacitors and resistors for electronic equipment, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60393-1 on 2009-07-01. This European Standard supersedes CECC 41 000:1976. The following dates were fixed: – latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement
