3548S-1AC-102B

Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

The 3548S-1AC-102B is an increadibly versatile rotary potentiometer and rheostat. Potentiometers and rheostats are electrical components that consist of a shaft attached to a housing containing resistive elements that allow it to measure physical movement or electric current. This element is used to measure the relative position of devices such as automotive throttle and steering mechanisms, pressure and flow controls, fluid level indicators, and electric motor brake mechanisms.

The 3548S-1AC-102B is perfect for most any application that requires a rotary potentiometer and rheostat. It features a sturdy and durable construction, which makes it ideally suited for a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications. The 3548S-1AC-102B has a resistance range of 10K Ohms and is sealed with an IP67 rating, making it dust proof and waterproof. It is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -20C to +65C.

Working Principle

At the core of the 3548S-1AC-102B working principle is its resistance element. This element is connected to the shaft and connected in parallel with the ends to form a continuous circuit. The resistance element is adjusted by rotating the shaft, which in turn adjusts the resistance of the circuit. When the shaft is rotated, the component’s resistance changes as the distance between the ends of the circuit changes. This makes it possible to measure the relative position of devices.

When a voltage is applied to the outputs of the 3548S-1AC-102B, current flows through the resistance element. The amount of current flowing through the element is relative to the position of the shaft. This information is then collected and used to interpret the position of the device being measured. In addition, the amount of current will determine the resistance value of the element, which is also used to measure the position of the device.

Applications

There are many different uses for the 3548S-1AC-102B. These include automotive applications such as throttles, steering mechanisms, pressure and flow controls, and electric motor brakes. It is also used in home automation, robotics, and as an input device for computers. In terms of industrial applications, it is commonly used as a position feedback device for servo motors, machining centers, valve controllers, and other motorized devices. The versatility of the 3548S-1AC-102B makes it a highly useful and effective tool for many different applications.

Conclusion

The 3548S-1AC-102B is a highly versatile rotary potentiometer and rheostat. Its resistance range of 10K Ohms, IP67 rating, and operating temperatures from -20C to +65C make it an excellent choice for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. With its durable construction and easy-to-use design, the 3548S-1AC-102B is an ideal solution for any situation requiring a rotary potentiometer and rheostat.
