8146R10KL.25

Rotary Potentiometers, or "pots," are two-terminal variable resistors typically used for the direct adjustment and control of electrical signals and as sensing devices to measure a variety of physical parameters. They are available in myriad configurations, including single-turn, multi-turn, linear, and rotary element types. Rheostats, which are two-terminal variable resistors, are used for the low-resistance control of electrical signals. Combining the two technologies, the 8146R10KL.25 is a single-turn rotary potentiometer with a rheostat, designed to provide a range of electrical resistance selection for a variety of industrial applications.Design
