  • RMP30H 1-turn Potentiometer Hall Effect IC

Rmp30a/h 1-turn potentiometer hall effect ic

Compact seesaw-motion potentiometer for precise angular position feedback. Designed for control interfaces requiring automatic center return and long operational life.


Key features

  • Conductive plastic or hall effect output
  • Automatic center return mechanism
  • Long life up to 5 million operations
  • Compact and lightweight design
  • Multiple knob and mounting options

Performance highlights

The Rmp30a/h is a 1-turn seesaw-motion potentiometer available with either a conductive plastic resistive element or a contactless hall effect ic. It provides smooth, reliable position feedback with excellent linearity and repeatability. The automatic spring-return to center makes it ideal for joystick-like control applications.

Usage conditions

The sensor operates with an electrical travel of 30° ±5° and a mechanical operating range of ±15° to ±19° from center. It is designed for use in industrial environments with operating temperatures from -20 °C to +60 °C. Hall effect versions offer higher ingress protection and extended lifetime.

Possible applications

  • Joystick controllers
  • Operator control panels
  • Industrial machinery controls
  • Vehicle control interfaces
  • Foot pedals and hand controls

Advantages of choosing this product

By offering both conductive plastic and hall effect versions, the Rmp30a/h allows engineers to balance cost, lifetime, and environmental resistance. Its compact form factor, standardized mounting, and multiple knob variants simplify integration into new or existing designs.

Other important features

  • Center returning accuracy of 50% ±3%
  • Output voltage range approx. 10% to 90% of input
  • Low current consumption
  • RoHS compliant
