PCW1J-C24-CEB103L

Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

The PCW1J-C24-CEB103L is a rotary potentiometer application. It is a rotational device that connects to a power source, producing an adjustable resistance. Specifically, it is made up of four resistors combined in a specific manner: two variable resistors with three terminals, and two series resistors. The resistance can be adjusted from 0 to 10K ohms and the power consumption is very low.

Uses and Applications of PCW1J-C24-CEB103L

This type of rotary potentiometer is mainly used to detect the position of a motor’s shaft or to regulate the voltage and current going to a device. It is capable of providing adjustable speed and power control as an infinite variable. Some of the common uses and applications that make use of the PCW1J-C24-CEB103L include:

• Digital control systems
• DC motor control
• Safety monitoring systems
• Volume and tone control devices
• Light dimmers
• Operational amplifiers
• Electronic display devices

Working Principle

This rotary potentiometer has a special working principle, that of a bridge type resistor network. This means that the resistors in the device work together to generate an adjustable voltage output based on the position of the shaft in the device. When the shaft is rotated, the resistance value of the device changes. This change in resistance results in a corresponding change in the output voltage. This type of device offers a user the means to adjust the voltage level and the current going to a particular device, as well as to precisely measure the rotational angle of a motor’s shaft.
