PTL30-15O0-102B2

Slide Potentiometers

A slide potentiometer is an electromechanical device commonly used in controlling electrical signals. They are widely used in audio systems as volume control elements and tone control elements. Slide potentiometers are characterized by having an element situated within a vertical or a sloping housing.

The PTL30-15O0-102B2 is a type of slide potentiometer. It is a single-pole, 15mm slide potentiometer with a travel range of 30° and a shaft thread of M6 x 0.75 mm. It is typically used in applications such as remote control systems, mixers, motor control, and tone control.

The application field of the PTL30-15O0-102B2 covers a wide range of uses. It is used in audio mixing equipment for controlling volume and tone, as well as in motor controller applications. It is ideal for applications where a fine level of control is needed for low power signals. It could also be used as a position control mechanism.

The working principle of the PTL30-15O0-102B2 is fairly straightforward. It consists of a fixed resistor and a slider that moves along a contact track. When the slider moves, it touches different points of the contact track, which changes the resistance value of the potentiometer. This change is then converted into an electrical signal (voltage or current) that can be used to control the sound intensity, volume, motor speed, and other associated needs.

Slide potentiometers are very versatile and reliable components that are widely used in a variety of applications. The PTL30-15O0-102B2 is a great choice for applications requiring a precise level of control and a broad range of movements.
