Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are ubiquitous components used in electronics, automation, and industrial applications.
6173R10KT5L.5 Application Field and Working Principle
Application Field
The 6173R10KT5L.5 is a Trimmer Potentiometer, part of a range of rotary potentiometers and rheostats manufactured by Honeywell. These are designed with a wide range of applications in mind, including volume control, linear and pulse motor speed control, automatic gain control, RF attenuation, brightness control in lighting and video applications, as well as industrial, medical, and consumer applications.
Design
The 6173R10KT5L.5 is a single turn, precision electric trimming potentiometer which uses a high quality ceramic element to achieve consistent trimming over a long life. It has a low profile and is suitable for use in adverse environmental conditions due to its high resistance to temperature, dust, and shock. It is an SMD (Surface Mount Device) type ADJ (ADjustment) pot. The terminal layout consists of 3 pins in the form of 1 x G, 1 x W, and 1 x A.
Working Principle
The working principle of the 6173R10KT5L.5 is relatively simple. The resistance value of the device is adjusted by rotating the shaft, which moves the contact along the resistive element. This results in a change in output voltage, depending on the resistance value of the element. The resistance of the trim pot can be adjusted to a range of 25 Ω to 15kΩ. The signal from the 6173R10KT5L.5 can be fed to a wide range of devices, such as DACs (Digital to Analogue Converters) and ADC (Analogue to Digital Converters), and is sample held at the rate of 1kHz. The resolution of the device is 0.3Ω or 326pp (384 codes available 0-384).
Conclusion
The 6173R10KT5L.5 is a reliable and effective precision trimming potentiometer and rheostat,
