P260P-S2BS3CB25K

Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats, assure accuracy and durability though their distinctive design and reliable construction.

The P260P-S2BS3CB25K is a rotary potentiometer and rheostat that features a superior quality, low-friction bearing that offers maximum motion sensitivity and durability. Specifically designed for self-soldering, it has a two-piece ground sleeve with two internally threaded faceplates that enable fine adjustment of the potentiometer\'s setting. The P260P-S2BS3CB25K is also dust- and water-resistant with passivated zinc finish, providing a longer product life and increased reliability. Additionally, the robust design with high-resistance carbon track ensures consistent performance.

The P260P-S2BS3CB25K has a standard rotation of 270° and a resistance range of just 5 Ohms. It includes a dielectric strength rating of 600V, low leakage current of 5mA, and ±20% FS tolerance. It finds applications in diverse sectors such as industrial, telecommunications, automotive, lighting, and power electronic equipment, as well as for power supplies, UPS systems, and SoCs.

The P260P-S2BS3CB25K’s working principle is based on the resistor divider concept. Basically, a control element (e.g. a rheostat or potentiometer) has two parts: a resistor and a wiper. The wiper is a sliding contact that is connected to one of the two resistors and when it is moved along the resistance element, the resistance value between the wiper and the outer terminal changes. This change in resistance is what is used to produce an output signal. The P260P-S2BS3CB25K follows the common four-wire configuration: the common terminal, switch-on terminal, wiper terminal, and resistor terminal. The output signal is a voltage that is dependent on how much current passes through the rheostat.

The P260P-S2BS3CB25K is a reliable, yet cost-effective solution that is ideal for any type of system requiring an adjustable resistor or rheostat. It is compatible with any type of platform and has been designed to meet the highest European safety standards, such as EN, CSA, and UL. Its superior quality construction, ultimate endurance and superior durability make it a leader in its class.
