Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

P260P-D1BS3CB2.5K is a commonly used rotary or rheostat potentiometer. It is designed to measure or adjust electrical resistance. It consists of a resistive element, a mechanical gear system and a output wiper. The ratio of the rotary angle to the resistance is usually linear and the output is usually two-per-rotation. The connected device can be either analog or digital.

Application Field

The P260P-D1BS3CB2.5K rotary potentiometer has been widely adopted in household electronics, automotive lighting systems, industrial electrical machinery, etc. It is used to adjust the parameters such as power, brightness and coefficient of switch, as well as to adjust and measure the electrical current at a given constant voltage.

Working Principle

The P260P-D1BS3CB2.5K rotary potentiometer relies on a mechanical input to the resistive element and a mechanical output in the form of a wiper. The element is made up of a metal or carbon-based resistive track that has two end terminals and a center or wiper terminal. As the shaft is rotated, the wiper moves along the resistive track and its resistance is varied in a predictable and usually linear fashion. The position of the wiper is determined by the angle of the shaft and the resistance between the center and one of the end terminals is what is varied.

The resistance between the wiper and each end terminal can be spoken of in terms of its setting, or its "tap". Taps are marked to correspond to specific resistances, usually in increments of 25 or 50 ohms. The effect of changing the position of the wiper is that an opposing voltage differential is created between the two ends and the center terminal. The voltage across the two ends, with respect to the center, is said to be the result of the voltage divider principle.
