P260P-D1BF20CB10K

Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are two of the most commonly used electro-mechanical transducers. The P260P-D1BF20CB10K is a general purpose, high accuracy, rotary potentiometer with a sliding type contact and a linear resistance curve.

The application field of the P260P-D1BF20CB10K includes, but is not limited to, temperature measurement and control, level and pressure measurement as well as power and voltage measurement. It is widely used in industrial and commercial applications as well as in engineering and automotive applications.

Rotary potentiometers work on the principle of variable resistor. They consist of a resistance track and a fixed contact point which slides along the track from one end to the other as the external rotor is rotated. As the rotor is turned, the contact point slides along the resistance track and its position determines the ratio of resistance between two endpoints of the track. This ratio is then used to calculate the output current or voltage.

The P260P-D1BF20CB10K features high resolution and accuracy. It has a linear resistance curve which ensures that the output is proportional to the input. The maximum resistance is 20 KΩ, and it is rated for continuous rotation. It can withstand harsh environmental conditions and air particles, making it suitable for use in outdoor applications.

Rheostats are another type of variable resistor. They are usually used to regulate current or voltage in a circuit by varying resistance. Unlike potentiometers, rheostats are designed to control large currents with high precision. The P260P-D1BF20CB10K has a maximum resistance of 10 KΩ and is thus not suitable for controlling large currents but can be used for voltage regulation.

In conclusion, the P260P-D1BF20CB10K is a general purpose, high accuracy, rotary potentiometer with a sliding type contact and a linear resistance curve. It is rated for continuous rotation and can withstand harsh environmental conditions. It is mainly used for temperature measurement and control, level and pressure measurement as well as power and voltage measurement. It can also be used for voltage regulation but is not suitable for controlling large currents.
