Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats, and the 2-1624200-5 are all useful tools for controling electrical currents. Potentiometers are ideal for precision applications requiring accurate feedback. Rheostats are better suited to tasks with fixed currents, such as resistive heating or illumination control. 2-1624200-5 is a type of Rotary Potentiometer that combines the convenience and precision of a potentiometer with the cost-effectiveness and simplicity of a rheostat.

The 2-1624200-5 has a rugged construction made from a thermoplastic housing and alloy terminals, designed for superior mechanical strength. Its multiple rotary action and low profile make it ideal for under-dashboard installation, while its multi-turn design ensures stable performance over long periods of time. Its internal circuitry also allows for bidirectional operation, ensuring reliable feedback in both forward and reverse rotations.

Application Field

The 2-1624200-5 is most often used in automotive control applications. Due to its low profile, it is well suited for installation in cramped spaces, and its bidirectional operation provides reliable feedback in forward and reverse movements of mechanical devices. This makes it a great choice for adjustable controls in vehicle steering systems and other automotive controller applications. Its rugged construction and multiple rotary action also make it ideal for applications where high levels of mechanical abuse are expected, such as automated assembly lines and robotics control systems.

Working Principle

The 2-1624200-5 works on the principle of a variable resistor, or a potentiometer. The device has an internal resistor that is connected to a rotating shaft. The shaft can be turned in a rotary motion, which changes the value of the resistance. The change in resistance alters the amount of current allowed to flow through the circuit, allowing the device to control the current allowed to flow. By adjusting the rotational position of the shaft, the amount of current flowing through the circuit can be accurately controlled.

The 2-1624200-5 also comes with a typical starting resistance value of 50kΩ, but this can be adjusted to meet specific application requirements. This makes it extremely versatile and adaptable for applications where more precise control is required.

Conclusion

The 2-1624200-5 is a simple and cost-effective solution for controlling electronic devices in automotive applications. Its ability to accurately regulate current in both forward and reverse directions makes it an ideal choice for adjustable controls. Its multiple rotary action and rugged construction make it suitable for applications with high degrees of mechanical abuse. Finally, its low profile makes it easy to install in cramped spaces.
