Rotary position sensor from Bourns with long rotational life

Bourns announced the availability of a new dust-proof, 12 mm rotary position sensor model-3382. Bourns claims that the new sensor provides long product life with its 1 million rotational cycles and IP40 seal rating.

The new sensor has a shaft-less, surface-mount design that features a broad operating temperature range of -40ºC to +120ºC and great independent linearity of +2% for its compact size.

This device is well suited 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.

It can also be used in applications where a mechanical angular displacement is measured by the device's proportional output signal.

Some of the applications include 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, in-wall temperature control systems and more.

Pricing: In the range of $1.10 to $1.20 for 1K piece quantities.
