3500S-2-102

A rotary potentiometer, commonly known as a rheostat, is an electronic device that includes a few components: a rotating mechanism, a set of electrical terminals, and a resistor element. The resistor element is typically made of a material like ceramic or porcelain, which provides resistance when current is passed through. When the knob of the rheostat is turned, the resistance of the resistor element changes accordingly. This resistance can be used to control the amount of current that passes through the entire circuit, as well as to create an adjustable voltage source.

The 3500S-2-102 is one type of rotary potentiometer that is commonly used in a variety of applications. This model has an operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C, making it suitable for many environments. The 3500S-2-102 also features a high insulation resistance and low temperature coefficient, making it very reliable and accurate when used for temperature sensing applications. Additionally, this potentiometer can be used in applications where a variable resistance value is required, such as in dimmers, volume controls, and motor speed controllers.

The working principle of the 3500S-2-102 is quite simple. A shaft is connected to a knob or dial on the front of the device, which is connected to the resistor element inside. When the knob is turned, the resistance of the element changes accordingly. By controlling the resistance, the current or voltage passing through the circuit is also controlled. In some applications, the 3500S-2-102 is connected to an additional device such as a light dimmer, a motor controller, or an amplifier. This device can then be used to control the output of the circuit, depending on the desired application.

Overall, the 3500S-2-102 is a highly versatile rotary potentiometer that can be used in a variety of applications where variable resistance is required. By controlling the resistance of the potentiometer, the current or voltage passing through the circuit can be adjusted to provide the desired output. The 3500S-2-102 is also built to withstand extreme temperatures, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments. Thanks to its durability and accuracy, the 3500S-2-102 is becoming increasingly popular in both commercial and industrial applications.
