Rotary potentiometers (also known as rotary pots) and rheostats are both regularly used to adjust the voltage or current in any circuit. They are simple yet effective devices which can be used to control the way electricity is routed through circuitry.

The 3851A-162-102BL is a rotary potentiometer. It is designed to be used in applications that require precise control over the output signal. This device is made from a solid metal casing and features a metal knob on the top with a line around it. This line is used to determine the desired setting, and the knob is turned to the desired position. Inside the casing is a carbon resistive element which is connected in series with the output signal. Turning the knob increases the resistance of the device which causes the signal to decrease.

Rheostats are similar to rotary potentiometers, but instead of resistance they are used in applications that require the varying of current. Rheostats contain two electrical contacts which can be moved along a resistive element. As the contacts move, the current flow is varied accordingly. This change in current can be used to control the speed of a motor, brightness of a light, or the level of sound coming from a speaker. The 3851A-162-102BL is not a rheostat, but rheostats can be used in a similar manner as a rotary potentiometer.

In conclusion, the 3851A-162-102BL is a type of rotary potentiometer that is used to increase or decrease the output voltage or current in a circuit. Rheostats are another type of device that can be used for similar purposes, but instead of using resistance to adjust the signal, rheostats work by changing the current flow through the circuit. Both of these devices can be used to control a wide variety of electrical applications.
