Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats, and the 6373R1KL.5 Application Field and Working Principle

Rotary Potentiometers, also known as a rheostat, are a type of electronic component used in a wide variety of electrical systems. A rotary potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor used to measure voltage or current in a circuit. It consists of two terminals connected to a resistive element and a third terminal which serves as the wiper contact. The wiper moves along the resistive element as it is turned, adjusting the voltage or current being measured. Rotary potentiometers are commonly used in audio equipment and other electronic devices, as well as in automotive and industrial applications.

The 6373R1KL.5 is a small, three-terminal, adjustable rotary potentiometer manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a subminiature, single-turn device with a resistance range of 1K ohms. It is designed to be used in very small form-factor devices, such as mobile phones, hand-held GPS, and other similar devices. It offers a low current draw (1uA), and a low profile package, making it ideal for portable applications.

The 6373R1KL.5 has been designed to work in different applications, from medical imaging diagnostics and programmable amplification to mobile and portable device prototypes. It is used as a voltage or current adjuster for on-board circuit designs. This device produces a linear taper output. It can be adjusted using a screwdriver, and a locking device is available as an optional addition.

Regarding the working principle of the 6373R1KL.5, when the resistive element receives an external voltage or current, a small current is sent through the third terminal. This current produces a voltage between the first and second terminals, thus adjusting the resistance value. This voltage can be measured with conventional measuring instruments.

The 6373R1KL.5 is made with a circular knurled and indexed face to make it easier to adjust. It is the smallest available potentiometer in terms of form factor with a resistance range of 1K ohms. The angled side of the flange allows for one-handed adjustment of the wiper, making this unit ideal for automotive and other hands-on applications. It is also RoHS compliant, and the gold-plated brass terminals provide a long-term, stable service life.

The 6373R1KL.5 is a small but powerful rotary potentiometer ideal for a variety of applications. It is easy to install and can be used to adjust voltage or current levels in circuits. Its robust design, gold-plated terminals, and low profile design make it an ideal choice for small form factor designs.
