As a result, its resistive elements are used in a wide range of applications such as, volume control, gain control, amplifier level control, instrument attenuation, LED dimming, light engine dimming, multi-channel rotary power supply design, LED brightness adjustment, dimming, fan speed control, audio power balancing, amplifier gain control, stereo balance control, and power regulation. These are all examples of how this specific rotary device can be used to improve performance in the field.

Working Principle

The 7486R200L.3 works on a simple working principle. It is essentially a resistive element that connects two points of the audio system, the source and the output device. As the user turns the potentiometer knob, the amount of resistance applied between the two points changes. This in turns alters the signal information flowing from the source to the output device. As the knob is slowly rotated, more or less signal energy can be heard from output device.

For example, in a simple stereo system, a 7486R200L.3 can be used to adjust the volume of the signal coming from the source to the output device. As the knob is slowly rotated clockwise, more signal energy is allowed to pass through and the sound from the output device increases. Conversely, turning the knob counter-clockwise reduces the signal energy and lowers the volume.

Conclusion

The 7486R200L.3 is a rotary-based electrical device that provides superior performance in various distributed audio systems, lighting, HVAC/R, automotive, and broadcast and communication systems. It is a resistive element device that connects two points and can be used to adjust the signal flow between them. The 7486R200L.3 is a useful and efficient tool to achieve precise control over a number of products in the field.
