Slide potentiometers have become one of the most widely used position sensors on the market owing to their ease of use and wide range of applications. PTA6043-2015DPA103 is a product belonging to this family of devices. This is an update of a popular model from the same manufacturer which has been out for many years and is still in use in many applications.

The PTA6043-2015DPA103 is a surface-mount device featuring an 8-bit resolution, with a selectable full scale output voltage of 5V, 10V, 12V, and 15V. It is designed for applications requiring precise linear or angular positioning and features a range of over 165°. The device has a built-in offset adjustment, non-contact detection, high temperature operation, RoHS compliance, and is designed to operate in temperatures up to 100°C. The device is also highly reliable, with a lifetime of over 1 million cycles.

The PTA6043-2015DPA103 works by using a potentiometric system of four resistors. As the contact arm of the sensor is moved along the resistive tracks, the resistance of each of the four resistors changes. This change in resistance is detected by the device, which in turn converts it into a voltage. This voltage can then be used as a signal for the required device or application.

The two main parameters of the PTA6043-2015DPA103 are resolution, which is the smallest detected movement of the contact arm, and accuracy, which is the difference between the actual and the expected voltage output. The resolution is 8-bit, meaning that the device can detect movements as small as 0.12° and 0.006V, while the accuracy is within ±1° and ±0.01V. This high resolution and accuracy make the PTA6043-2015DPA103 ideal for applications where precise position sensing is required, such as in robotic arms, medical equipment, and industrial machinery.

The PTA6043-2015DPA103 can be used with both digital (microcontroller) and analog (Voltmeter) control systems. To connect the device to a digital system, the user must first connect the four resistor pins to the corresponding pins on the microcontroller. The pins are then connected to a resistor network which provides the reference voltage for the device. The device is then connected to the microcontroller via an analog/digital converter. The analog signal that the device produces is then converted to a digital signal that the microcontroller can interpret.

For analog systems, the user must connect the output pins of the device to a voltmeter. The user must then adjust the reference voltage of the device, by connecting the four resistor pins to the corresponding pins of the voltage source. The user then adjusts the potentiometer on the device until the desired output voltage is obtained. This voltage is then compared to the reference voltage to get the position of the contact arm.

The PTA6043-2015DPA103 is a highly reliable, versatile, and easy to use slide potentiometer. It is ideal for applications requiring precise linear or angular positioning, such as in robotics, medical equipment, and industrial machinery. The device features a range of over 165°, 8-bit resolution, high temperature operation, and RoHS compliance, making it the perfect choice for any position sensing application.
