Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats, commonly referred to as Pots, are widely used in a range of applications in the engineering industry. Such uses include volume and tone control in audio systems, as well as controlling the power and speed of motors. Rotary Pots work by rotating a contact or wiper around a resistive element, which changes the resistance of the Potentiometer. CU5021E is an example of a Rotary Potentiometer.

The CU5021E is a 10K Ohm Potentiometer with a maximum operating voltage of 25V and a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. It is a 2-axis Pot and has terminals for both axis. The device also has three pins: a common, a wiper and a non-wiped terminal. The wiper is a contact which rotates over a resistive element and is connected to the common terminal, while the non-wiped terminal is not connected to the common terminal. As a result, the resistance between the common and wiper terminal changes depending on the position of the wiper, while the resistance between the common and non-wiped terminal remains constant.

The CU5021E offers a range of applications; some of these include adjustable dimmers, light intensity control, temperature control and motor speed control. It can also be used to control the volume and tone of audio systems, with the wiper terminal providing the variable input for both the tone and volume controls. The device also has a built-in protection against reverse polarity and ESD.

In terms of its working principle, the CU5021E can be divided into two main parts; the resistive element and the wiper. The resistive element is made up of a resistive track, which is formed from a metal or conductive material; the track provides a fixed resistance between the common and non-wiped terminals. The wiper is a contact that is connected to the common terminal, and which is rotated over the resistive track. As the contact moves, it changes the resistance between the common and wiper terminals. As a result, the resistance between the common and non-wiped terminals remains constant, while the resistance between the common and wiper terminals varies in accordance with the position of the wiper.

The CU5021E is an example of a potentiometer that is designed for use in a variety of applications, ranging from controlling dimmers and light intensity control to motor speed control and audio systems. It works by rotating a contact or wiper over a resistive element, changing the resistance between the common and wiper terminals. As the common and non-wiped terminals remain electrically independent, the device also offers protection against reverse polarity and ESD.
