Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

The 3862C-162-103A is a rotary potentiometer, rheostat that is used in a variety of modern applications with a wide range of applications in electronics, automotive, and other industries. The 3862C-162-103A has an adjustable resistance which can be used to control the current flow, voltage drop, or impedance of a circuit depending on the type of application. In addition, the device is also used to measure variable resistances and can be used for signal conditioning.

Application Field

Rotary potentiometers, rheostats such as the 3862C-162-103A are used in many electronic circuits for various purposes. Some of the more common applications include:

• Adjusting LCD Brightness
• Controlling Mobiles\' Volume
• Regulating Motors\' Speed
• Adjusting Speakers’ Volume
• Controlling LED brightness

Rotary potentiometers can also be found in other machines and devices, such as home appliances, audio systems, and more. Another common use for a rotary potentiometer is in a joystick controller. In this application, a rotary potentiometer is used to measure the position of the joystick and is used to control the movement of the joystick.

Working Principle

The 3862C-162-103A is a three-terminal device that has a variable resistor, called a wiper, which moves along a resistive element as the knob is turned. The voltage drop across the potentiometer is a function of the relationship between the resistance value of the resistive element and the position of the wiper. The resistance between the two terminals is proportional to the position of the wiper, allowing the user to adjust the resistance in a circuit.

The 3862C-162-103A also incorporates a set screw which allows for precise adjustment of the wiper’s position, allowing for fine-tuning of the resistance in a circuit. In addition, the set screw also prevents the wiper from slipping or rotating in the wrong direction.

The 3862C-162-103A is a simple device that provides a very convenient way to control a wide variety of electrical signals and components. It is a reliable and versatile device with many applications in various industries.
