3548S-1BA-202A

Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are two important components in the field of electronic engineering. The 3548S-1BA-202A is a type of Potentiometer that is widely used in many applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 3548S-1BA-202A component.

Potentiometers are variable resistors designed to provide adjustable electrical signals. Potentiometers are used to adjust various parameters, such as voltage, current, resistance and capacitance. The 3548S-1BA-202A is a three-terminal, rotary style Potentiometer. It is used in applications such as instrumentation, automation, control and audio/video applications.

The working principle behind the 3548S-1BA- 202A Potentiometer is based on the fact that varying the position of its rotating knob changes its resistance value. The knob has three terminals, a common terminal (COM), a wiper terminal (WIP) and a terminal that provides a fixed amount of resistance (R). When the COM terminal is connected to one end of the resistor, the wiper moves along the resistance track when the knob is rotated, thereby changing the output of the Potentiometer.

The 3548S-1BA-202A Potentiometer is usually supplied in either a molded or adjustable package. It is constructed with ceramic materials for superior electrical and mechanical characteristics. The components are hermetically sealed to keep out moisture, dust and other contaminants. The Potentiometer is also designed for long-term stability and low temperature range operation.

The resistance range of the 3548S-1BA-202A Potentiometer is from 100 ohms to 10K ohms. It has a power rating of 3 Watts and a temperature range of -40° to +105°C. The component is also available in a variety of shaft lengths and detent options. The Potentiometer is available in both vertical and horizontal mounting configurations and can be mounted in either through-bulkhead or surface-mount applications.

Rheostats are adjustable resistors used to control the current flowing through an electrical circuit. The 3548S-1BA-202A component is also available as a Rheostat. It features a dual knob construction (with a stationary potentiometer and a wiper that rotates along the resistance track). The Rheostat has the same resistance range, power rating and temperature range as the Potentiometer of the same type.

In summary, the 3548S-1BA-202A Potentiometer and Rheostat are used in many electronic devices and applications. Their working principles are based on the changing of resistance values when the 3-terminal knob is rotated. The component is hermetically sealed and available in a variety of packages, with a resistance range from 100 ohms to 10K ohms and a temperature range of -40° to +105°C.
