Type M Series
This is one of Tyco's most popular
ranges and is available with cermet
resistance elements. This choice
means that components offer
excellent electrical and thermal
stability, reliability, low noise and
long life which makes them
most suitable for the majority of
professional applications.
The MC Series is used in the
Tornado Project and is the standard
single turn general purpose panel
control used for most military
applications in the UK and in
Europe.
