Product Description

The 3859a282-502a is an aircraft potentiometer that functions as a variable resistor for signal conditioning in avionics and control circuits. This component converts mechanical shaft rotation into proportional electrical signals, providing position feedback to flight instruments and autopilot systems. Installed in cockpit control circuits, the potentiometer delivers precise resistance changes across its operating range.

Verify resistance value, taper curve, and shaft style against the aircraft wiring diagram before installation. Assembly and testing must follow the applicable aircraft maintenance manual and OEM specifications.

Please note: Product descriptions are provided for informational purposes. Always refer to your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) to verify part compatibility and specifications.
