Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

The 3852A-162-503AL is a component of the rotary potentiometers and rheostats family of products. This particular item is used in many different industries and applications. It is most commonly used for tasks such as adjusting the level of electrical signals, controlling the speed of a motor, or creating adjustable thresholds in linear devices.

The 3852A-162-503AL is a four-wire shaft-type potentiometer. It is constructed of a metal body containing three contacts and a ceramic wiper. It features a 0.150-inch (3.81 mm) shaft diameter and a 0.375-inch (9.53 mm) body diameter. The unit is dust and water resistant and offers a maximum power rating of 0.75 watts. A maximum voltage rating of 500 volts is also present.

The 3852A-162-503AL features a wiper resistance of 1 kilohms. It has an insulated temperature rating from -40 to 85°C (-40 to 185°F). It also features a linearity of 5%. The unit has closed-loop characteristics and features a gear reduction of 100:1 on the rotation.

To install, the 3852A-162-503AL requires a 4-way connector and a mounting base or bracket for the connection of the housing. The unit is typically mounted on a circuit board or other flat surface. The two terminals at the base of the potentiometer are used to connect the wiper to the circuit board, and the two other terminals are used to perform the job of the signal lines.

The working principle of the 3852A-162-503AL is simple. As the shaft is rotated, the wiper moves across a resistor element. This movement causes the resistance between the two terminals to increase or decrease, depending on the direction of the rotation. This change in resistance is then used to adjust the voltage or current in the circuit.

The 3852A-162-503AL is ideal for use in a wide range of applications. It is particularly well suited for use in automotive control systems, as the unit can easily be mounted on the dashboard and adjusted with a turn of the knob. It can also be used to regulate the speed of a motor or create a threshold for linear devices. This makes it a versatile and versatile component in any electronic system.
