Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats are electronic components used in various applications to act as adjustable resistance devices. The electronic components are usually designed to fit standard mechanical mounting racks, and are constructed with a resistance element (such as carbon film, wire wound and metal element) and a rotary contact mechanism. Today we will be exploring the 3-1624200-7 rotary potentiometer, and discuss its application field and working principle.

Application Field

Rotary potentiometers can be used in a variety of applications. They are mainly used in the field of engineering, such as power supply, motors, industrial automation, audio equipment, medical equipment, aviation and automotive applications. Specifically, they can be used to adjust lighting levels, control voltage and current, and adjust the volume in sound devices.

The Working Principle

A rotary potentiometer works on the principle of resistance. It consists of three terminals, at which one voltage is applied and the other two are read. The resistance between the two read terminals changes when the third terminal is moved. The total resistance of a rotary potentiometer typically ranges from a few hundred ohms to several thousand ohms.

The two read terminals of a rotary potentiometer are connected to a mechanical arm which is generally mounted on a flat disk of a conductive material, such as aluminum, copper, or other metal. When the disk is rotated, the arm\'s position in relation to the disk determines the amount of resistance between the two read terminals.

The arm is always connected to a mechanical potentiometer or a resistive element. The resistance between the two read terminals is then determined by the position of the arm relative to the disk. The resistance is highest when the arm is positioned at the middle of the disk and decreases from the center outward, towards either terminal.

The 3-1624200-7 Rotary Potentiometer is a small device with a resistance range of 2kΩ - 10kΩ. It comes with a standard threaded 6.4mm shaft and a 6mm shaft length. It is designed to fit into standard electronic and electrical systems, such as those associated with automotive and wireless applications. It is also designed to operate consistently and stably, even when exposed to dust, moisture, and other environmental conditions.
