Working Principle of 534B1503JC

534B1503JC works on the principle of the relative resistance between two contacts. It is designed with a set of resistive elements, where one terminal is connected to a stationary base, while the other is connected to a rotary shaft. The distance between the two contacts can be adjusted by rotating the shaft.

This component consists of two sections – the resistive element and the actuator. The shaft consists of a series of resistive carbon contacts which are designed in such a way that when they move together, they create a resistive path between the contacts. As the shaft is rotated, the resistance of the contacts become higher and lower depending on the position of the shaft and hence varying the resistance between the contacts.

The actuator is connected to the shaft and has a spring-loaded arm and a detent. When the arm is pressed against the resistive element, it creates a contact and the resistance of the resistive element is measured. As the shaft is rotated, the detent pushes the arm against the resistive element and changes the resistance of the component.

534B1503JC rotary potentiometer provides accurate angular position measurement with high repeatability and reliability. Its compact size and low power consumption make it suitable for a wide variety of applications and its cost-effectiveness makes it even more attractive.
