Rotary potentiometers, rheostats, and 23ESA473MMF50N are three closely related yet different components that are used in electronic circuits. Both potentiometers and rheostats are used as adjustable resistors, while the 23ESA473MMF50N is a compact rotary switch. It is important to understand the differences between them before considering the application field and working principle of the 23ESA473MMF50N.

A potentiometer is a three-terminal device with a sliding or rotating contact that is used to vary resistance. The resistance of the potentiometer can be altered by the movement of the contact, changing the voltage or current ratio between two of the terminals relative to the third terminal, the wiper. Two-terminal potentiometers, such as the rotary types, are usually implemented as a voltage divider. Potentiometers are typically used to change resistance in a circuit without having to change the wiring.

Rheostats are two-terminal adjustable resistors, commonly made with a resistor wound on a coil. The tap along the length of the coil is moved to adjust resistance. The main difference between a potentiometer and a rheostat is that the tap on a potentiometer is located at one end, while the tap on a rheostat is located somewhere along its length. Rheostats are used when the resistance needs to be adjusted between two terminals, and the wattage needs to be higher than what a potentiometer could provide.

The 23ESA473MMF50N is a 9mm low profile rotary switch with great push-on/push-off characteristics. It is a compact two-pole SPDT (single pole double throw) switch, with a high rating of 5A at 125V or 3A at 250V. This makes it ideal for audio, control and switching circuits. It features a dustProof construction, making it dust resistant and highly reliable. It has a built-in manual switch to toggle between on and off states.

The 23ESA473MMF50N is most commonly used in applications such as commercial grade control and switching systems, audio/amplifier systems, and other circuit protection systems. Its primary function is to switch current between two electric terminals, like a light switch. When used in an audio system, the switch can be used to control the volume. It can also be used to isolate power or change the output signal of an audio device.

The working principle of the 23ESA473MMF50N is based on its SPDT configuration. When the switch is in its off state, no current will flow through it as it is essentially an open circuit. When switched to the on position, the switch will form a complete circuit, allowing electricity to flow through the switch.

In summary, the 23ESA473MMF50N has a wide range of applications, including control and switching systems, audio/amplifier systems, and circuit protection systems. It is a highly reliable rotary switch, with great push-on/push-off characteristics. Its working principle is based on its SPDT configuration, allowing it to switch current between two electric terminals. Rotary potentiometers, rheostats and the 23ESA473MMF50N are three separate yet related components, each with their own unique functionality.
