P260P-D1BS3AA200K

Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats are commonly used to measure the resistance in a circuit and provide a variable voltage control signal. The P260P-D1BS3AA200K is a type of rotary potentiometer that is widely used in applications for controlling electronic systems such as audio, video, and communication systems. It is made from a solid-state elastomer-based material, which provides good electrical insulation and robust performance.

In most applications, a rotary potentiometer is used to create a voltage signal within a particular range that can then be measured by a microcontroller or control system. To achieve this, a resistive element is fixed to a rotating dial or spindle, allowing a physical lever—such as a knob or slider—to be used to adjust the resistance as the knob is turned. The voltage range can be set precisely by calibration. This type of variable resistor is used to adjust the gain in an amplifier circuit, control the volume of an audio signal, or create other voltage levels to control an electronic or electrical system.

The P260P-D1BS3AA200K has two main components: a slide contact element and a resistive element. The slide contact element is the movable part of the potentiometer and is made up of two metal discs and two resistive films. The two discs move on linear bearings when the knob is turned, while the resistive films provide a variable resistance depending on the position of the discs. The resistive element is a solid-state elastomer-based material, which is bonded to the outer surface of the slider disc. This provides excellent electrical insulation and stability.

In operation, the slide disc is attached to the shaft of the knob, and the resistive element is connected to both the power supply and the output terminals. The electrical resistance in the circuit between the power supply and the output is proportional to the angle of rotation of the knob. This allows the voltage output to be adjusted precisely to within a narrow range, depending on the knob position. The resistance range can be adjusted by calibration or by changing the resistive element.

The P260P-D1BS3AA200K is a wide-ranging rotary potentiometer developed for use in a variety of applications. Its robust design and improved insulation qualities make it suited to industrial use, and it is particularly useful in audio, video, and communication systems. The adjustable range of the resistance can be precisely controlled and adjusted, making it an ideal choice for controlling complicated systems and gaining accurate results.
