Schneider Electric XB4 470kΩ Rotary Potentiometer 1-Gang Panel Mount, XB4BD912R470K

Providing linear mode precision in a familiar package size that fits the Harmony XB4 range of products are Schneider Electrics Range of panel mount potentiometers. The Harmony XB4 range of potentiometers is a type of variable resistor that enables users to regulate and change current flowing through a circuit.

A potentiometer works through the two terminals that they feature, they are fixed to a resistive element or what we may refer to as a track. A third terminal is connected to the wiper, which is a sliding contact. As the wiper moves along the track, the resistance changes and the current that is flowing through the circuit changes.

This Harmony XB4 potentiometer has a resistance of 470kΩ. It has a metal bezel. This potentiometer provides an external interface for controlling key parameters of automation components like drives and inverters. It is easily installed into standard 22mm diameter cut-outs and connected with simple screw-clamp connections. It is impact resistant, dust resistant, water resistant and vibration resistant thanks to its IP66 IP69 IP69K, making it ideal for operation in harsh environments. It is ideal for analog control (like speed control of motor) via the voltage or resistor input of variable speed drives.
