PS45G-B3SBR10K

Slide potentiometers are a type of electromechanical variable resistor. They are most commonly used as volume or other controls in audio electronics, though there are many other uses for this versatile device. PS45G-B3SBR10K is one such example of a slide potentiometer.

Application Field

PS45G-B3SBR10K is an industry-standard single-turn 10 kΩ through-hole mount slide potentiometer. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications such as in professional and domestic audio amplifiers, musical instruments, motor speed control, robotics and in the automotive industry. It is also ideal for basic volume and balance control to modify the amplitude of a signal.

Working Principle

PS45G-B3SBR10K slide potentiometer consists of three contacts. One contact, often referred to as the common contact, is connected to the main body of the device, while the other two contacts, known as the wiper and the slider, are free to move along the length of the main body.

When the slider is moved, the resistance between the wiper and the common contact changes as the distance between them varies. This produces an electrical signal that is proportional to the slider’s position relative to the main body. This signal can be used to control the amplitude of an audio signal, for example.

Conclusion

In short, PS45G-B3SBR10K slide potentiometer is a versatile and reliable device suitable for many different applications. Its simple three-contact design and through-hole mounting make it easy to use in any circuit. Thanks to its wide range of uses and its reliable operation, this potentiometer can be a valuable addition to any electronic project.
