PTR901-2015K-B104

Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are two components commonly used in electronic circuitry for electrical control functions. The PTR901-2015K-B104 is a rotary potentiometer specifically designed for use in medical and industrial applications.

Application Field

The PTR901-2015K-B104 is a ½” single-turn rotary potentiometer with a high-temperature resistant ceramic material body and an end-to-end body travel of 28°. It is designed to be used in a non-conductive environment, due to its insulation performance. This component is compatible with temperature ranges from -30°C to +105°C. It is also designed with a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of 0~800ppm/℃. The applicable power supply range is 3V DC to 24V DC. Moreover, it is designed to be dust proof and waterproof for medical and agricultural applications.

The PTR901-2015K-B104 is particularly suitable for use in the medical field, including medical electronics, patient monitoring, and instrumentation. It is also ideal for high-temperature environments, such as industrial and power control applications.

Working Principle

The PTR901-2015K-B104 is a rotary potentiometer and a rheostat. It works by using a movable contact to alter the resistance in a circuit and regulate the flow of current. It is able to regulate the resistance by turning a knob or shaft that is attached to a contact to move either clockwise or counter clockwise along a resistance track. The contact is able to move across the track from end to end, transferring a different amount of current depending on where along the track it is positioned.

The rheostat portion of the PTR901-2015K-B104 is responsible for regulating the flow of current across the track by controlling the output level of voltage or current. This is done through a sliding contact that moves between two fixed contacts, transferring different levels of current depending on where it is positioned. With the PTR901-2015K-B104, this can be done either manually by turning the knob or with the use of an external control, such as a motor.

In summary, the PTR901-2015K-B104 is a rotary potentiometer designed for high-temperature environments and the medical field. It is able to regulate the flow of current through a movable contact on a resistance track and is able to adjust the levels of voltage or current with a sliding contact. This component provides a reliable and accurate way to control electronic circuits.
