Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

Rotary potentiometers and rheostats both allow the user to adjust the amount of resistance in an electrical circuit, however their application fields and working principles are slightly different.In its most basic form, a rotary potentiometer is a component designed for use in a circuit in which varying amounts of resistance are required. It does this by using a resistance element and a shaft connected to what is known as a single-turn rotary switch. As the switch or knob is turned, the resistance element moves across the contact surface, thus changing the resistance. The resistance range of a rotary potentiometer can be adjusted by changing the rotation angle of the knob or the number of turns of the shaft.Rheostats on the other hand are also used to adjust the amount of resistance in a circuit, but they are unlike rotary potentiometers in that they feature two resistance elements rather than one. The two resistance elements are connected to each other with a shaft that is connected to a thumbwheel. As the wheel is turned, the resistance changes. The main difference between rheostats and rotary potentiometers is that the amount of resistance in rheostats can be controlled only up to the maximum resistance of the rheostat, whereas in rotary potentiometers the amount of resistance can be adjusted to any desired level.The 6273R10KL.5FS model is a miniature rotary potentiometer that features a low-profile, single-turn switch design. It has a resistance range of 10 kiloohms (kΩ) and can be adjusted by turning the knob. The total resistance of the potentiometer is determined by the number of turns of the shaft as well as the angle the shaft is turned to.The 6273R10KL.5FS can be used to control the amount of resistance in electrical circuits such as those found in industrial and consumer electronics applications. It can also be used to adjust the volume or brightness of some electronic devices.In conclusion, rotary potentiometers and rheostats are two types of electronic components that can be used in an electrical circuit to adjust the resistance. They both feature rotary switches and a resistance element that can be adjusted manually, however their designs are slightly different. The 6273R10KL.5FS model is a miniature rotary potentiometer that can be used for applications requiring resistance adjustments in the range of 10 kiloohms (kΩ), and is suitable for industrial and consumer electronics applications such as volume and brightness control.
