Rotary Potentiometers/RheostatsPotentiometers and rheostats are both variable-resistance devices used in many electronic circuits. They are both able to provide a variable voltage or current depending on how they are set up and used. The 3590S-2-502 is a single turn precision panel potentiometer from Bourns that is used in a wide range of applications, such as audio equipment, automotive, instrumentation meters, medical devices, test and measurement, and home appliances. This type of potentiometer has a long life, is very reliable, and is very precise in its operation.The potentiometer is made of a conductive surface, typically metal, which is connected to a power source. This conductive surface is then divided into two or more contact points, which when connected to a current source, cause the resistance to change. The total resistance can then be adjusted by changing the position of the contact points. The typical range of a 3590S-2-502 is from 0 to 5KOhm. Rheostats are also variable resistors, however they differ from potentiometers in that they have a single contact point which is connected to a stationary or rotary arm. When the rotating arm is turned, it changes the total resistance of the circuit. This type of device is often used to control the intensity of a light, the speed of a fan, or the voltage of a motor.In some applications, both devices can be used. A potentiometer can be used to control the voltage or current in a circuit, and a rheostat can be used to control the intensity of the current. It is important to know which type of device to use in each application, as each type of device has its own particular advantages and disadvantages.For instance, potentiometers can be more precise in operation than rheostats, due to the larger range of adjustment, and they are usually better suited for larger loads. Rheostats can be better suited for small loads and simple circuits, and their unlimited rotation allows for smoother operation.Some other common applications for the 3590S-2-502 include automotive electronic control systems, medical devices, power fading and dimming control, and amplifier and pre-amp control. In conclusion, both potentiometers and rheostats are versatile devices and can be used in a wide variety of applications. The 3590S-2-502 is a single turn precision panel potentiometer from Bourns that is used in a wide range of applications, and can be relied upon for its reliability and precision.
