5711R100KL.5

Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are both electrical devices used to control the amount of current passing through an electrical circuit. The devices are typically mounted on a rotating shaft or lever and are used to directly control the flow of current in an electronic circuit. The main difference between the two devices is that the Potentiometers vary resistance in relation to angle of rotation and the Rheostats vary resistance in absolute terms.

5711R100KL.5 Application Field and Working Principle

The 5711R100KL.5 is a rotary potentiometer and it can be used in a variety of applications, ranging from industrial automation and medical devices, to communication systems and consumer electronics. The device is typically used to control the flow of current in circuits that require variable resistance.

The 5711R100KL.5 features a 2-core helical track and a wiper contact that moves along the track in order to vary resistance as the device is rotated. The track is divided into 100 sections, each with its own resistance value. When the device is rotated, the contact moves along the track, varying resistance in relation to the angle of rotation. As the contact moves along the track, the total resistance is reduced until the device reaches its maximum rotational angle.

The 5711R100KL.5 is a very reliable device, with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. It is also highly resistant to environmental factors, such as humidity, temperature, and vibration. The device is rated for operation at up to 100V and 500mA and can be used in a wide range of applications.

In addition to the features mentioned above, the 5711R100KL.5 also offers a range of other features such as good linearity, low theoretical temperature coefficient, and high contact life. The device is also UL approved for safety and meets all relevant industry standards.

The 5711R100KL.5 is an excellent choice for applications that require a reliable and accurate control over an electrical circuit. The device is very easy to use and can be used in a wide range of applications.
