380C3500

From a wide range of available rotary potentiometers, rheostats and other resistors, the latest application field showcasing the 380C3500 is an exciting one. It is being used in many applications from automotive electronics, consumer and industrial electronics and medical applications. The 380C3500 is a reliable, high-quality, high-voltage, axial-mounted, single or multiple turn, radial potentimeters and rheostats.

The 380C3500 is designed to measure current, voltage, resistance or capacitance in both high and low voltage ranges. It is a highly configurable axially mounted device which can be configured to suit any application requirement. They are ideal for a wide range of resistance and capacitance measurements as well as pulse width modulation of DC motors.

The working principle of the 380C3500 is quite simple; two ends of a wire are connected to the potentiometer. When the potentiometer is rotated, these two ends move relative to each other in a sinusoidal manner and the resistance in the wire increases or decreases. When the potentiometer is in the middle, the resistance in the wire remains the same. This variation in resistance in the wire is what allows the 380C3500 to measure a wide range of variables including voltage, current, resistance and capacitance.

The 380C3500 is also pulse-width modulated (PWM) which means it can control the speed of a motor in an efficient way even at very low voltage levels. When the motor speed is increased, the amount of time each digital signal of the pulse is on and off is varied, and as a result, the speed of the motor is controlled.

The 380C3500 is not only used for measuring electrical parameters, but also for applications such as speed control, linear positioning, angle displacement, strain gauging, current sensing, vibration measurements and many more. It is also used in TV signal measurement applications along with its power consumption monitoring functions.

The 380C3500 is a versatile component and its application field is broad. It is an ideal choice for the majority of resistive measurement applications requiring high precision, reliability and accuracy. Its sinusoidal variation between two terminals makes it an ideal solution for many measures including voltage, current, resistance, capacitance and pulse width modulation. Thus, it is an inexpensive solution for many commercial and industrial applications.
