PS45-10MA1BR500

Slide Potentiometers

PS45-10MA1BR500 is an advanced slide potentiometer from the renowned Vishay Dale range. It features a single turn linear taper, 10Mohm resistance, and a 500V maximum rating. The key features of this slide potentiometer are its low resistance value, linear taper, and high voltage rating.

Application Field

PS45-10MA1BR500 is widely used in a variety of applications. It is most commonly used in medical and scientific instruments, audio equipment, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics. In medical equipment, it can be used to adjust the precise level of an electronic signal or to monitor the level of a physiological variable such as temperature or pH. It can also be used to adjust the level of a motion control system or to adjust the level of a light intensity sensor. In audio equipment, it can be used to adjust the position of the volume control, or to adjust the equalization settings. In industrial control systems, it can be used to adjust the speed of a motor, or to adjust the direction of a valve. In consumer electronics, it can be used to adjust the brightness of an LCD or LED display, or to adjust the speed of a game controller.

Working Principle

PS45-10MA1BR500 has a simple and straightforward working principle. It consists of a slider which slides across its body, and a resistor of 10Mohm. When the slider is turned, it slides across the resistor, thus changing its resistance and the voltage at its output. Depending on the application, the voltage at the output can be used for control, monitoring, or signal conditioning.

The 10Mohm resistance of the PS45-10MA1BR500 makes it perfectly suited for applications which require precise voltage level adjustment. Its high voltage rating of 500V allows it to be used in high voltage applications as well. This makes it perfect for industrial control systems, or for applications which require precise level adjustments over a wide voltage range.
