August 11, 2009 — Bourns announced additions to the Bourns Model 3382 rotary position sensor. The additions include a through-hole option (H pin style), an increased standard rotor slot offering to accommodate 4 mm (-1) and 3.5 mm (-2) diameter D-shafts and resistance values ranging from 2.5K to 100K ohms. The additional resistance values allow for broader freedom and flexibility for component circuit designs without limiting them to 10K ohms. The Bourns Model 3382 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.With its 2.1 millimeter (mm) slim profile, Bourns Model 3382 is well-suited for applications with space constraints and is RoHS compliant. The rotary position sensor device is also designed 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. Pricing and AvailabilityAs a pricing reference, the Bourns Model 3382 rotary position sensor additions are offered in the price range of $1.12 to $1.25 for 1,000 piece quantities through distribution.
