Rotary position sensors

25 November 2009 Passive Components

Bourns announced additions to the Model 3382 family of compact rotary position sensors with 1 million rotational cycle lifetime.

The new additions include a through-hole option (H pin style), an increased standard rotor slot offering to accommodate 4 mm and 3,5 mm diameter D-shafts and resistance values ranging from 2,5 kΩ to 100 kΩ.

With its 2,1 mm profile, the Model 3382 is well suited for applications with space constraints and is RoHS compliant. It is designed for a wide range of applications requiring high quality and reliability, such as navigation systems, automotive power seats and mirrors, portable electronic equipment, digital cameras, industrial equipment and controls, robotic systems and home applications including mechanical compartment systems, appliances and in-wall temperature control systems. The device is also suitable for applications that require frequent adjustment where it is necessary to control a variable output such as frequency, speed, contrast, brightness intensity or volume control.
