Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats are electromechanical components used to measure or control electrical current. They are also called adjustable voltage divider circuits, because they can be used to measure the voltage or current at a certain point in a circuit, or to control the current in a circuit through a voltage regulator. 3590S-2-501L is one of such components. It is an adjustable linear taper potentiometer with a center-click switch, so it can be used in applications requiring both the precise control of a potentiometer and a center-click switch.

3590S-2-501L has a wide range of application fields. It can be used in volume control devices, tone control devices, dimmer applications, power supplies, process control, synths, audio banking & switching, medical electronic instruments, etc. It can be directly mounted to the PCB board. It is small enough to be used in a variety of applications.

The working principles of 3590S-2-501L are based on the voltage divider circuit. Inside the unit, there are three terminal connections, including two fixed resistors (or potentiometers) connected between two of the terminals. When the rotary action of the potentiometer is used to adjust the resistance of one fixed resistor, the resistance of the other fixed resistor changes accordingly. As a result, the total resistance of the circuit between the two terminal points changes, which leads to a corresponding change in the voltage or current at that point in the circuit, so the amount of power or current delivered to any connected load can be adjusted according to the user’s preferences.

In addition to the rotary action of the potentiometer, 3590S-2-501L also includes a center-click switch. This switch is connected between the two fixed resistors, and provides a third point of adjustment, as well as a tactile feedback that can be used to determine when the resistance of the two fixed resistors is approximately equal. This can be useful in applications where precise adjustment is required.

Overall, 3590S-2-501L is an electromechanical component with a wide range of application fields and uses the voltage divider circuit to measure or control electrical current. It is very compact and can be easily mounted to a PCB board, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
