P260P-D2BS3CB500K

Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

The P260P-D2BS3CB500K is a type of rotary potentiometer or rheostat. Such components are electrical devices consisting of a circular conductive element called a wiper and an adjustable resistance track. The wiper moves along the track when the rotary component is turned, varying the resistance of the track and consequently the amount of current passing through the device.

Rotary potentiometers are frequently used to measure angular position and are often employed in electronic control systems. Rheostats are usually used in variable voltage control or signal attenuation applications. In both cases, the component is usually connected in a circuit such that the wiper can change the resistance of the track from 0Ω to a maximum determined by the rating of the device.

The P260P-D2BS3CB500K is a single-circuit rotary potentiometer. It has a resistance rating of 0 to 50 KΩ and a taper of 2B. It consists of a conductive wiper and a wiper arm, which is connected to the wiper. When the arm is turned, the wiper moves along the track, varying the resistance. The component is usually used in applications such as amplifier gain control, tone control, volume control, and signal attenuation.

The working principle of the P260P-D2BS3CB500K is simple. When the arm is rotated, the resistance of the track is changed, allowing more or less current to pass through the component. The amount of current passing through the device is directly proportional to the resistance of the track. As the rotary component is turned, the resistance increases and decreases, changing the voltage across the device. By changing the voltage, the signal passing through the component is attenuated or amplified, depending on the application.

The P260P-D2BS3CB500K is a widely used component in electrical and electronic control systems. Not only does it provide a reliable means of changing the resistance of a circuit, but it is also relatively simple to integrate into existing systems. Due to its simple functioning and multitude of applications, the P260P-D2BS3CB500K is a popular choice among engineers.
