Working Principle of 416XA502P

The 416XA502P is a rotary trimmer potentiometer, which works on the principle of a variable resistor. It works on the principle of an adjustable resistance between two contact points. The resistance between the contact points is varied by rotating the shaft of the trimmer potentiometer. The 416XA502P is a three-terminal device. One terminal is the input terminal which is connected to the power source. The other two terminals are the adjustment terminals, which are shorted together when the resistance between the contact points is adjusted. The adjustment terminals can be connected to the load, or to function as a voltage divider.

The 416XA502P is designed to handle heavy duty applications. It has a corrosion resistance coating on the contact points, and a heavy duty helical spring to ensure accurate and consistent output. The 416XA502P is designed for easy installation and removal. It is available in various sizes and types, to suit different applications. It also has a wide operating temperature range and a wide resistance range.
