Rotary Potentiometers

Rotary Potentiometers, such as the P260P-D1BF20CB5K, are variable resistors devices that are used to measure the angular position of a shaft in radio, audio, medical, communication, or other control systems. They are most commonly used as volume controls in radios and other audio equipment, as well as actuator feedback devices in servo systems, and engine control systems. The P260P-D1BF20CB5K is a 3-terminal device with a shaft that is capable of rotating 360 degrees. It is typically constructed with a conductive-plastic element and wire connections.

The P260P-D1BF20CB5K works by using a conductive-plastic element that is attached to the shaft. The position of the shaft determines the resistance between two of the terminals, which can then be used to measure the angular displacement. This type of rotary potentiometer is most commonly used in audio systems and radio control equipment, but can also be used in other applications where angular measurement and feedback is required.

Rheostats

Rheostats, such as the P260P-D1BF20CB5K, are variable resistors devices that are used to control current or voltage. Typically they are used as volume controls in electronic equipment, providing a range of resistances between terminals so that the current flow can be adjusted. The P260P-D1BF20CB5K is a 3-terminal device with a shaft that is capable of rotating 360 degrees. It is typically constructed with a conductive-plastic element and wire connections.

The P260P-D1BF20CB5K works by using a conductive-plastic element that is attached to the shaft. The position of the shaft determines the resistance between two of the terminals, allowing for adjustable current or voltage control. This type of rheostat is most commonly used in audio systems and radio control equipment, but can also be used to regulate current or voltage in other devices where adjustable resistance is needed.
