PTP902-130K-204B2

Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are two types of variable resistors that are used extensively in electronic control circuits. The PTP902-130K-204B2 is a type of rotary potentiometer that offers a wide range of applications and is used in electronics engineering, measurement and control systems, military and aerospace systems, automotive, and many other types of devices.

A rotary potentiometer is a device that provides a variable resistance when a shaft is rotated. A rheostat is a device that provides a variable resistance when a knob or dial is turned. Both types of devices work on the same principle. That is, they vary the resistance of a circuit by changing the position of a shaft or knob. The resistive element, or winding, is connected to two terminals. When the shaft or knob is moved, the element moves and changes the resistance of the circuit.

The PTP902-130K-204B2 rotary potentiometer is designed to provide a constant current or voltage over the entire rotation angle. It has a screwdriver actuated spring loaded plunger that acts as a second contact for sensing the position of the wiper. The wiper moves on a conductive track and makes contact with the track as the shaft is rotated. The resistance value and tolerances are marked on the body for easy readout.

The PTP902-130K-204B2 can be used as a position sensor for a variety of applications. It is used in motor control and robotics to control the speed or position of a motor. It can also be used to control the brightness of a display in an audio system, or to control the volume of a sound system. As it is waterproof, it can be used to adjust the level of water in a tank or reservoir.

The PTP902-130K-204B2 is also suitable for use in a variety of newer applications, such as medical equipment and in industrial automation systems. This type of rotary potentiometer can be used to precisely adjust speed, position, and other parameters in automated systems. It can also be used to control and monitor flow rates, pressure, and temperature.

For all of these applications, the PTP902-130K-204B2 has a wide operating temperature range (-20°C to + 70°C), and it is available in different sizes and power ratings. It is a reliable and durable device that is suitable for most industrial and commercial environments. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications.
