AR10KL.25

The AR10KL.25 is a rotary potentiometer and rheostat. It is used as a robust device for electronic systems and offers a wide variety of resistance values and electrical ratings.

As a rotary potentiometer, the AR10KL.25 uses a resistor to measure the position of the shaft of a rotary switch, and provides a variable electrical output. It provides resistance from 0 ohms to 10,000 ohms, and offers a maximum mechanical angle of 25 degrees. This allows the user to select from a wide range of resistance values and electrical ratings.

As a rheostat, the AR10KL.25 uses a resistor and resistor combination to control the flow of electrical current. Rheostats can be used to control the brightness of lights, the speed of fans and motors, and the current in power supplies. Similarly to a potentiometer, rheostats are adjustable and offer a range of resistance values and electrical ratings.

Applications of the AR10KL.25 include use as an adjustable volume control in audio systems, and as an adjustable contrast control for displays. This device is also ideal for switching applications, such as controlling the speed of a motor or adjusting the brightness of a light. Other applications include use in adjustable DC power supplies and for current limiting.

The working principle of the AR10KL.25 is based on a resistor and an adjustable shaft, which creates a changing voltage when rotated. A voltage divider network is connected across the resistor, and this is used to measure the position of the shaft. When the shaft is moved, the resistance of the potentiometer changes, causing a corresponding variation in voltage.

In summary, the AR10KL.25 is a rotary potentiometer and rheostat used in a variety of applications. It offers a wide range of resistance values and electrical ratings, and uses a resistor and adjustable shaft to measure the position of the shaft. This provides the user with a variable voltage output which can be adjusted to suit the needs of the application.
