CR1KL.5

Rotary potentiometers and rheostats are electronic components or devices which are used to define an electrical resistance value for passing an electrical signal or current. Specifically, they are used as variable resistors, which enables to fine-tune the response of certain types of electronic circuits and components. The CR1KL.5 is a rotary potentiometer and rheostat which is a non-linear precision device which consists of three terminals. It functions by applying a voltage across the two outer terminals, while the amount of current passing through the middle terminal is varied by the rotation of a conducting disc. This process in turn provides a certain level of resistance and the amount of current and voltage applied by the device.

The main purpose of the CR1KL.5 is to provide highly accurate and repeatable resistance values in a variety of applications. One example is to provide a source of stable voltage for solid-state electronic devices such as diodes and transistors. It can also be used to fine-tune the response of analog circuits, as well as in the adjustment of motor speed and voltage levels. In addition, the device can be used as a voltage divider for more accurate and consistent voltage measurement.

The working principle of the CR1KL.5 is relatively simple. It consists of two main components, an inner conducting disk and the resistance element which is attached to the outer component. The voltage is applied to the two outer terminals, while the inner conducting disk is connected to the middle terminal. When the disk rotates, it causes a change in the contact resistance between the disk and the resistance element, effectively giving it the ability to vary the level of resistance applied to the electrical current.

The CR1KL.5 is one of the most accurate and reliable devices in its class. It features a low temperature coefficient and a high insulation resistance. In addition, its construction ensures long-term reliability and stability, even when subjected to extreme temperatures or vibration and mechanical shock. Furthermore, the device is designed with safety and reliability in mind, featuring overload protection and fuse protection for added safety.

The CR1KL.5 is an incredibly versatile device which can be used in a variety of applications. It can be used to finely tune the response of analog circuits, provide a source of stable voltage for many electronic components, provide overload protection, act as a voltage divider, and to adjust the speed and voltage of motors. Additionally, its unique non-linear precision design ensures highly precise and consistent resistance values, allowing for reliable and repeatable results.

In conclusion, the CR1KL.5 is an extremely versatile and reliable rotary potentiometer and rheostat. It provides highly accurate and repeatable resistance values, features a low temperature coefficient and a high insulation resistance, and is designed with safety and reliability in mind. Additionally, its unique non-linear precision design ensures highly precise and consistent resistance values, allowing for reliable and repeatable results in various applications.
