PRM162-K415S-103B1

Rotary potentiometers, otherwise known as pots, are electromechanical devices that convert the angular position of a shaft to an electrical signal. They are usually used in audio instrumentation to adjust the level of a signal, and may also be used as variable resistors and noise generators. Rheostats are variable resistors that are used to turn up or down the resistance of an electrical circuit. They are typically used as voltage dividers in voltage regulator circuits.

PRM162-K415S-103B1 is a type of rotary potentiometers in the E-Series of precision potentiometers from the TE Connectivity (formerly Conexant) range. It is a 10-turn pre-set rotary potentiometer with a linear rotary movement of 20° and a 0.02" square shaft. It is available with a standard resistor value of 10KOhms and a life expectancy of 1 million cycles.

The PRM162-K415S-103B1 is typically used in industrial and audio/video applications to adjust the output voltage of an electronic device. It is a low-cost and reliable solution for providing an accurate signal output. The device is designed to be easily integrated into any circuit and can be adjusted with a simple turn of the shaft.

The working principle of the PRM162-K415S-103B1 is relatively straightforward. The internal circuit of the device consists of a resistor, a wiper, and a movable contact. As the wiper is moved along the contact, the resistance of the circuit changes, and this change in resistance is detected and amplified as an analog signal. This signal can then be used to control the output voltage of the device or to adjust the resistance in a voltage regulator circuit.

In summary, the PRM162-K415S-103B1 is a type of rotary potentiometer in the TE Connectivity range of potentiometers. It is typically used in industrial and audio/video applications to adjust the output voltage of an electronic device. The working principle of the device is based on changing the resistance of the internal circuit in order to detect and amplify the signal as an analog signal.
