Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

The 3400S-1-503L is a type of rotary potentiometer, rheostat or trimmer designed for a wide range of applications. It is a three-terminal adjustable resistor with an infinite resolution. The device is a robust, fix-mount, panel mount potentiometer with an improved solder contact pad for more reliable soldering and assembly.

Application Field

The 3400S-1-503L can be used in a variety of applications, including measuring temperature, light and sound levels, position sensing and actuator control. It is commonly used in medical and defense systems, such as prosthetic devices, alarms and monitoring systems. The device is also used in consumer electronics, including mobile phones, game consoles and other personal gadgets.

Working Principle

The 3400S-1-503L operates on the principle of resistive divider, where the total resistance (Rt) between the terminals is constant when a force is applied to the rotary control of the potentiometer.When the control is moved, the resistance changes proportionally within a certain range. As the resistance between the terminals changes, so does the electrical current running through it. This current can be used to measure and control variables in an electronic circuit.

The device has three terminals: an input terminal, a ground terminal, and an output terminal. The input terminal is connected to the positive voltage in the circuit, giving current to the device. The output terminal is connected to the circuit\'s load, and the current output from the device runs through it. The ground terminal is connected to the source of ground in the circuit, which allows the device to keep a stable ground potential.

Advantages of 3400S-1-503L

The 3400S-1-503L provides superior performance and accuracy over other types of potentiometers. It offers an infinite resolution, meaning the control can be infinitely adjusted within the range of the device. It also has a low temperature coefficient, meaning the resistance won\'t change much with the temperature. Finally, the device has improved solder contact pad for more reliable soldering and assembly.

Conclusion

The 3400S-1-503L is a rotary potentiometer, rheostat or trimmer used in a range of applications. It works on a resistive divider principle, where the total resistance is constant when a force is applied to the rotary control of the potentiometer. It offers a wide range of advantages over other types of potentiometers, providing improved accuracy, resolution, and soldering reliability.
