EVJ-YK6F03651

Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

The EVJ-YK6F03651 is a component used for measuring levels of electrical resistance. It is classified as a Rotary Potentiometer or Rheostat, which are both commonly used in a range of different industrial and electronic applications.

Application Field

The EVJ-YK6F03651 is mainly used in industrial automation control and home appliances, such as dimmers for AC lights and temperature controllers. It is also an electrical component used in musical instruments. When used in computers, it can be used as a component of a joystick or thumb stick.

Additionally, Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats can also be used in medical and laboratory equipment, such as EKG electrodes and patient monitoring systems. Automobiles also utilise them for various functions, from windshield wipers to the speedometer. Such components are also used on transportation vehicles, such as train and metro systems, for controlling acceleration, braking, and speed.

Working Principle

The EVJ-YK6F03651 rotary potentiometer or rheostat consists of three components - the dial, shaft and the coil. As the dial is rotated, the rotation is conveyed to the shaft through a sliding contact, which changes the resistance of the coil.

The ends of the coil are connected to the external circuit, and when the resistor within the coil is changed, resistance between these two points also changes. This is what is known as the potentiometer effect and is used to measure electrical levels or provide variable current for different electrical applications.

A commonly used type of Rotary Potentiometer is the single turn type, which only has ten to twenty full turns. This is the type used in the EVJ-YK6F03651, and has the advantage of resisting dust, water, and other environmental elements. Its ergonomic design makes it comfortable and easy to use, making it great for a variety of electronic applications.

Conclusion

The EVJ-YK6F03651 is a type of rotary potentiometer or rheostat, which is used to measure resistance levels and provide variable current in various electronics applications. It is a long-lasting and reliable component that has been designed to withstand various environmental factors, making it a great choice for medical, industrial, and home appliance applications.
