Rotary Potentiometers, RheostatsThe 3851A-282-502BL is a rotary-type potentiometer used in various applications. The 3851A-282-502BL acts as a rheostat, which allows a user to adjust the resistance within a circuit to achieve different desired effects.The device is composed of three basic parts: The body, the wiper, and the resistor. The body is a cylinder that accommodates the components. The wiper is a movable part of the device that slides around a track of resistive material. This track determines the path that the current will travel through, and can be recessed or exposed depending on the application. The resistor is a resistive material found on the track that determines the resistance of the circuit.The 3851A-282-502BL is designed to provide a variable resistance to AC and DC circuits. It is commonly used in industrial, automotive, and home applications. It is typically used in motor speed control, audio tone control, lighting controls, and lighting dimmers. The device is also used in temperature regulation, such as thermostats, and in air-conditioning systems.The 3851A-282-502BL has a power rating of 0.5 watts, and a maximum current of 0.5 amps. The mechanical resistance range is 1 kΩ to 5 kΩ, and the tolerance of the device is only 3 percent. The mechanical life for the device is rated at 500,000 cycles, which is equivalent to approximately 10 years of normal use.The functionality and applications of the 3851A-282-502BL are straightforward. When a user presses the knob of the potentiometer, the wiper increases the amount of resistance in the circuit, and the arc then moves along the track. As the circular wiper turns, it increases the amount of resistance within the circuit. When the knob is released, the wiper will slide back down the track, reducing the amount of resistance in the circuit.The 3851A-282-502BL is an excellent choice for users who are looking for a reliable and affordable alterative to expensive variable resistors. It is a reliable and easy to use device for motor speed control, audio tone control, lighting and temperature regulation.
