Frequently Asked Questions
What resistance value and travel length does the PTL45-15O0-104A3 provide for audio fader applications?
The PTL45-15O0-104A3 provides a resistance of 100 kΩ (code 104) with a 15 mm slide travel. This combination suits audio mixing console faders and graphic equalizer controls where a 100 kΩ load is standard, and the 15 mm stroke gives operators smooth, tactile control over signal level adjustments.
How does the through-hole mounting of the PTL45-15O0-104A3 benefit mechanical reliability in live sound equipment?
Through-hole mounting anchors the PTL45-15O0-104A3 into the PCB with solder joints on both the electrical terminals and the mechanical locking pins, giving it far greater resistance to lateral forces than surface-mount alternatives. With a package height of 7 mm, the slider sits close to the panel surface, reducing wobble during repeated use in live mixing and broadcast environments.
Is the PTL45-15O0-104A3 RoHS compliant and what is the typical factory lead time?
Yes, the PTL45-15O0-104A3 carries a JESD-609 code of e3, confirming RoHS-compliant, lead-free solder terminations. The factory lead time is 16 weeks for volume orders, so designers should plan procurement well in advance, particularly for production runs requiring hundreds of units or more.
For a compact panel design, what mounting footprint area does the PTL45-15O0-104A3 occupy on the PCB?
The PTL45-15O0-104A3 uses a rectangular through-hole footprint consistent with the Bourns PTL45 series, with a 7 mm body height above the PCB. The single-gang, 1-circuit construction keeps the footprint narrow, typically around 45 mm × 7 mm for the full assembly, making it practical for slim panel housings and rack-mount equipment.
