When it comes to high-demand electronic applications, not all potentiometers are created equal. Kingtronics' RKT series offers a variety of wirewound and adjustable potentiometers engineered specifically for heavy-duty, high-power environments. But what makes them ideal for industrial-grade use?

1. High Power Handling Across the Series

The RKT-WS and RKT-WT series can handle up to 5000W and beyond, using robust aluminum or ceramic enclosures for stable heat dissipation. Ideal applications include:

• Power supply units
• Motor control systems
• Load testing environments

From compact 50W models to massive 3000W configurations, RKT offers scalable solutions for demanding environments.

2. Precise Adjustment for Fine Control

For applications that require precision tuning, RKT-WJ (conductive plastic) and RKT-WP (digital knob) models deliver smooth adjustment curves, low noise, and high linearity. Key features:

• Electrical travel up to 345°
• Over 50 million rotational lifespan (RKT-WJ)
• 0–14 scale digital feedback (RKT-WP)

3. Flexible Mounting & Rugged Construction

RKT-WQ models include enclosed metal casings suitable for outdoor or vibration-prone environments, supporting up to 82KΩ and 2000V. The RKT-WH carbon film option is perfect for budget-conscious applications with reliable results.

All RKT potentiometers are:

• Easy to mount
• Available in multiple sizes
• Engineered for shock, vibration, and heat resistance

4. Wide Range, Unified Standards

The RKT series covers a spectrum from low-ohmic precision control to high-resistance voltage division:

Summary: When Stability Meets Versatility

If your circuit design demands high power tolerance, precise adjustment, and long-term reliability, the Kingtronics RKT series delivers a flexible, modular solution for both industrial and commercial systems.
