Product Name
Leister 146.769 Potentiometer 20kOhm, with connecting wires
Brief Description
This is a 20kOhm potentiometer, an electronic component designed as a replacement part for Leister hot air tools, specifically compatible with models like the Leister Triac ST and Triac S heat guns. It includes connecting wires for installation.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Temperature control in Leister hot air guns (e.g., Triac ST, Triac S)- Speed control in various electrical devices- Adjusting voltage or resistance in electronic circuits- Plastic welding applications- Roofing membrane welding- Flooring installation (e.g., vinyl, linoleum)- Fabric welding (e.g., tarpaulins, banners)
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services- Plastic Fabrication- General Manufacturing- Distributers & Resellers- Electrical Services or Products- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed as a genuine Leister replacement part, ensuring compatibility and performance with Leister hot air tools- Comes with connecting wires for ease of installation- 20kOhm resistance value, suitable for precise control applications
Key Properties
- Resistance: 20 kOhm- Component Type: Potentiometer (variable resistor)- Compatibility: Leister Triac ST, Leister Triac S hot air guns- Function: Controls voltage/resistance, typically for temperature or speed adjustment- Included: Connecting wires
Surface Compatibility
Not applicable as this is an electrical component, not a material applied to a surface. Its function is to control the heat output of tools used on various surfaces.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other potentiometers with similar electrical specifications (20kOhm) might function, but genuine Leister parts are recommended for optimal compatibility and performance with Leister tools- Specific potentiometers designed for other hot air tool brands (e.g., Weldy HT1600 uses its own potentiometer)
Comparison Note
This potentiometer is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part for Leister hot air tools, ensuring direct fit and intended functionality, unlike generic potentiometers which may require modifications or not offer the same reliability or specific taper for temperature control.
