Rotary potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. As the contact is moved along the resistor track, the resistance between the fixed terminals changes. The position of the slider is typically used as an input signal, thus creating a voltage output. This device can be used to control resistance in an electrical circuit.Rheostat is a two-terminal variable resistor that is used to control the amount of current in an electrical circuit. The resistance between the two terminals can be adjusted by using a rotating knob. It is commonly used in audio and lighting equipment, but can be found in any application where the current needs to be adjusted.The 3862C-286-103AL is a precision rotary potentiometer and rheostat which is designed for commercial and industrial applications. It has a 22-pin DIP package and a wide range of resistance values from 1Ω to 10kΩ. It is suitable for various applications including but not limited to, adjustable DC power supplies, automatic gain control, digital circuit measuring and calibration, and adjustment or trimming of analog circuits.Working Principle:The 3862C-286-103AL rotary potentiometer and rheostat works by varying the resistance between two terminals. It has a single moving contact which is held between two fixed contacts, forming a voltage divider. When the contact is moved along the track, the resistance between the fixed terminals changes according to the position of the contact. This causes the voltage across the two terminals to vary and creates an output voltage corresponding to the position of slider.The rheostat in the 3862C-286-103AL works similarly to the rotary potentiometer. It also has two terminals which can be used to control the level of current in an electrical circuit. The resistance between the two terminals can be adjusted by turning the knob on the pot. This allows the user to regulate the current in the external circuit according to their requirements.The 3862C-286-103AL is a high precision rotary potentiometer and rheostats which provide stable performance over a long life. It is designed to handle repetitive cycling and rapid changes in resistance without degrading over time. It is able to maintain its accuracy even with temperature changes, mechanical shocks, and vibration.The 3862C-286-103AL is a reliable and resilient device which is suitable for a variety of commercial and industrial applications. Its high precision, long life, and stable performance make it a great choice for adjustable DC power supplies, gain control, and other applications where a high degree of accuracy and reliable operation is desired.
