JHS-RC Joystick Control

Single Axis Hall Effect Joystick with Return to Center Feature.

The JHS-RC0001 is a high reliability single axis, spring-return- to-center joystick, resistant to the levels of temperature, shock, vibration and EMI/RFI typically found in off-highway construction environments. The contactless Hall effect sensor eliminates many of the failures associated with traditional joystick technology. The JHS-RC has been tested to four million cycles with no sign of boot wear and no degradation of electrical performance. The electronics are sealed to IP68S. It offers immunity to RFI and EMI per SAE J1113; standard 0.5 to 4.5VDC proportional output. The JHS-RC is recommended for the construction and off-road vehicle market.

Features
