Micro-switch joystick 50JAK

2-axis3-axispotentiometer

Product
Potentiometer-type joystick 50JAK available in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional coordinate variants. Outside-mounted potentiometer with conductive-plastic resistive element; optional spring-return device and multiple accessory options.

Key features

• 2D (omni-directional) and 3D (knob rotation) control
• Outside-mounted potentiometers (SFCP22E / SFCP12AC for T-type)
• Conductive-plastic resistive element, independent linearity ±3%
• Optional spring-return device and high-torque versions
• Long life: ~5,000,000 operations; wide operating temperature range

Mechanical specifications
Controlling range of operating lever: 2D type — omni-directionally approx. ±30° to ±35° from center. 3D type — additional knob rotation approx. 320° beyond the 2D range (for center-returning type with spring return device, operating range approx. ±45° to ±50° from center).

Operating force: Without spring return — standard approx. 0.5–0.8 N (50–80 gf); high-torque approx. 2–6 N (200–600 gf). With spring return (direction dependent): X/Y approx. 0.8–1.5 N (80–150 gf); Z approx. 20–85 mN·m (200–850 gf·cm).

Operating temperature range: -20℃ to +65℃.
Vibration: 10–55 Hz, 98 m/s².
Shock: 294 m/s².
Life expectancy: approx. 5,000,000 operations.
Mass: ≈280 g (2D type), ≈230 g (3D type).

Electrical specifications
Mounted potentiometers: SFCP22E 10 kΩ ±15%, 0.2 W (conductive-plastic); for 3D T-type Z-axis: SFCP12AC 10 kΩ ±15%, 0.06 W. Independent linearity tolerance ±3%.

Electrical rotating angles: X/Y approx. 60°; Z approx. 320° (Z spring-return type approx. 90°). All terminals compatible with Tyco/AMP 110 series receptacle (2.8 × 0.5 mm) or equivalent.

Output smoothness: <0.2% (against input voltage).
Contact resistance variation: <5% C.R.V.
Resolution: essentially infinite.
Dielectric strength: 1 min at 500 V A.C.
Insulation resistance: >1000 MΩ (500 V D.C.).

Options and accessories

• Spring-return device
• Dust cover and panel mounting accessories
• Alternative potentiometer values and high-torque variants
• Micro switches, center-tap potentiometers, handle/knob variations, knob-integrated Z potentiometer (T-type)
