PDB12-H4301-103BF

Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are two types of resistive divider circuits, both of which are commonly used to measure, monitor, and control electrical signals in a wide range of applications. The PDB12-H4301-103BF is a member of the rotary potentiometer family, although its physical construction and electrical components are different from both rotary potentiometers and rheostats.

Application Field

The PDB12-H4301-103BF is specifically designed to measure, monitor, and control electrical signals, including analog, digital, and other types of signals. It is commonly used in the fields of control, measurement, medical electronics, automotive electronics, communications electronics, and aviation and aerospace. It is also used in industrial machinery and commercial products, both in the design, development, and manufacture of these products.

Working Principle

The PDB12-H4301-103BF works by using a rotating contact that physically traverses a resistive element. This contact is attached to a knob, which is turned by the user. As the contact is turned, it changes the amount of current flowing through the circuit, thereby changing the electrical signal. The electrical signal is then monitored and/or controlled by reading the output on a meter or other device.

In addition to providing a variable resistive divider, the PDB12-H4301-103BF also contains a number of safety features, including low-voltage operation, over-temperature protection, and short circuit protection. These features ensure that the device and its associated circuits are not damaged in the event of over-current or over-temperature conditions.

The PDB12-H4301-103BF is typically used in applications that require high accuracy and precision, as well as reliable performance. Its wide operating temperature range and low power consumption make it suitable for a broad range of applications. It is also highly cost-effective, making it an excellent choice for many applications.
