DescriptionHoneywell 53C Series 2W Conductive Plastic Potentiometers
OverviewPotentiometers convert rotary motion into a change of resistance, supplying a smooth transition of voltage or current levels.The resulting voltage output may be used to control position transducers in a wide variety of potential applications.The five series listed below are all 2 W plastic potentiometers and are available in resistances from 100 Ohm to 5 MOhm, inclusive. Available tapers include linear, log, and antilog to meet a wide range of application requirements. These single turn devices have a 6,35 mm [0.250 in] diameter shaft that is available in a range of lengths. Most shafts are nickel-plated brass. Most configurations have a standard 3/8-32 NEF-2A bushing; a high torque version is also available. Termination types are solder lug (with or without a center tap), PC pin or fast-on, all are solder-dipped. Custom designs are available upon request. 380 Series: 2 W conductive plastic potentiometer offering low contact resistance variation and a long rotational life RV4 Series: Military version of the 380 Series; meets MIL-R-94 requirements (non RoHS compliant) 485 Series: Custom version of the 380 Series 53C Series: Cost-effective version of the 380 Series 385 Series: Custom version of the 53C Series
Key Features and BenefitsCost-effective: Supplies good performance at a reasonable price Wide range of resistance values (100 Ohm to 5 MOhm, inclusive): Promotes flexibility in the applications Wide variety of tapers: Creates flexibility in output signal profile, allowing use in a wide variety of applications
