PTA3043-2210CIB103 is a low-profile slide potentiometer from Bourns' PTA Series designed for professional audio and consumer electronics applications. This single-gang unit features a 30 mm travel distance with a carbon element and metal housing, offering a linear taper with 10 kO standard resistance and ±20% tolerance. The potentiometer operates over a temperature range of -10°C to +50°C with a maximum operating voltage of 150 V DC for audio applications, insulation resistance of 100 MO at 250 V DC, and a sliding life of 15,000 cycles. With an operating force of 30 to 250 g-cm, sliding noise limited to 100 mV maximum, and tracking error of 3 dB at -40 to 0 dB, this component is well-suited for audio/TV sets, amplifiers, mixers, synthesizers, and PC monitors where reliable volume and tone control is essential.
