Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

Rotary potentiometers, rheostats, are commonly used in electronics to enable the user to control the level of certain electrical energy. The 385500M5694 is a versatile and robust rotary potentiometer, designed for use in harsh industrial, automotive and electronic applications. These type of rotary potentiometers are known as 4-terminal rheostats. This is because they feature not only two power terminals, but also an additional input and output connection. This means that they can be used in higher voltage and multiple current environments, which can otherwise destroy simpler two-terminal rheostats.The 385500M5694 has a minimum resistance value of 5 ohms and a maximum resistance value of 5 k ohms. This gives it a wide range of adjustable resistor values, allowing for multiple applications. It also features a UL recognized insulation system, making it suitable for use in high-energy applications. The working principle of the 385500M5694 is simple. The device’s main component is a rotary knob or potentiometer, which contains an electrical circuit. When the knob is rotated, this circuit’s resistance is modulated. This, in turn, alters the current running through it and the voltage across it. In terms of applications, the 385500M5694 is often used as a voltage divider. This means that it can be connected between two sections of an electrical circuit and can act to dividethe voltage between them. It can also be used as an adjustable current limiter, or to help set the voltage level of a power supply.The 385500M5694 is also commonly used in dimming circuits and LED light systems. By controlling the rotary knob, users can select the intensity of a lighting system by controlling the amount of current passing through the LED or light bulb. It can also be used as a motor speed controller, allowing users to adjust the speed of the motor in a smooth, linear fashion.Finally, the 385500M5694 can also be used as a variable voltage regulator. This application uses the potentiometer as a rheostat to control the output voltage, allowing users to adjust the voltage level of a power supply.In conclusion, the 385500M5694 is a robust and versatile four-terminal rotary potentiometer which can be used in a wide range of power-related applications. It is ideal for use in harsh industrial and automotive environments and provides a high degree of electrical protection due to its UL approved insulation system. From voltage dividers to motor speed controllers, this device can be used to conveniently control the level of electrical energy.
