PTA4543-2010CPB103

Slide Potentiometers

The PTA4543-2010CPB103 is a slide potentiometer, a type of variable resistor used for providing analog control of electric current flow. This type of potentiometer is particularly suited for applications requiring precise control and electrical isolation, such as remote audio and video signal distribution, voltage monitoring, and other industrial processes.

The PTA4543-2010CPB103 utilizes a combination of carbon and metal contact slides, as well as a two-piece molded plastic housing for electrical isolation. The contact slides, made of conductive metal, are used to control current flow between two electrical terminals. The plastic body allows insulation between the two contacts of the slide. The circuitry of the PTA4543-2010CPB103 is designed to reduce contact bouncing and ensure durability.

The PTA4543-2010CPB103 is particularly well suited for applications needing a user-adjustable dial or knob setting. The knob is turned as needed to adjust the contact slides in the wiper, and thus the current output. This potentiometer can be used to adjust the volume, brightness, and other controllable features of an electronic device, such as a television, amplifier, or sound system.

The PTA4543-2010CPB103 features an adjustable voltage output of 0 to 10 VDC and is rated for a maximum wattage of 3 Watts. The potentiometer is made to a high level of precision and is suitable for switching a variety of electrical values in a wide range of electrical components. Additionally, the PTA4543-2010CPB103 has a long life expectancy, which is beneficial for frequent use or difficult applications.

In summary, the PTA4543-2010CPB103 is an ideal choice for applications needing precise control and reliable performance. Its combination of contact slides, plastic body, and variable output voltage make it a valuable component in audio and video systems, voltage and power monitoring, and many other industrial processes.
