Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

The 3852C-162-104AL is a rotary potentiometer from the 3852C series developed and manufactured by Bourns Inc. to meet the highest quality requirements. They are highly reliable, long-lasting, and have a wide variety of applications. They are used to adjust electrical current or voltage in power equipment, electronic equipment, and test instruments. They are commonly seen in applications such as automotive dashboards, audio amplifiers, laboratory instruments, and medical equipment.

The 3852C-162-104AL has a total resistance of 200 ohms and a slider resistance of 10 ohms. It has a power rating of 1/8W and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It is available in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as round, rectangular, and square, and has an adjustment knob or dial. It is also available with gold contacts for signal accuracy and robustness.

Working Principle

The 3852C-162-104AL is a rotary potentiometer, which is designed to divide the input voltage into fractional parts according to the angle of the adjustable arm. As the arm is rotated, the resistance of the element is changed, allowing different amounts of current to flow. This is used to adjust the voltage or current to a desired level. The resistance of the element is constant, regardless of the rotation of the arm.

The 3852C-162-104AL is also a rheostat, which is an adjustable resistor. It is used to limit the amount of current that passes through, allowing the user to vary the current or voltage at a given point. This can be used to adjust the output of motors, relays, and various types of electronic equipment as well as to limit the amount of current passing through in order to protect equipment.

Advantages

The 3852C-162-104AL offers a number of advantages. It is highly reliable, with long-term stability and little drift over time. It has a tight tolerance of ±20% for consistent signal accuracy. It is small in size and has a low profile, making it easy to install in compact spaces. It is also designed to withstand high levels of shock and vibration and has an operating life of 10,000 cycles. In addition, it is corrosion-resistant and RoHS compliant.

Applications

The 3852C-162-104AL is typically used in automotive dashboards, audio amplifiers, laboratory instruments, and medical equipment. It is also used in audio mixers, audio compressors, audio equalizers, and other audio equipment. It is commonly found in industrial applications, such as process control, inverters, power supplies, motors, and other types of electronic equipment.
