JA1N056S503UA

The JA1N056S503UA is a type of rotary potentiometer, also known as a rheostat. Potentiometers are variable resistors and rheostats consist of a resistive element, usually carbon or wirewound, and a contact wiper. The JA1N056S503UA is a precision rotary potentiometer, with a resolution of one-millionth of the maximum resistance. It is manufactured with a conductive plastic element with a 10-turn designation and is rated at 0.5 W.

Application Field

Rotary potentiometers are used in a wide range of industries and applications, but are most often used to control electrical circuits. For example, a rotary potentiometer can be used to control voltage in a vehicle, adjust the volume on a stereo, or control a window position in a home automation system. They can also be used to measure temperature, gas pressure and other physical properties in industrial and medical instruments.

Working Principle

The JA1N056S503UA consists of a resistive element, such as a conductive plastic, attached to a shaft. The contact wiper is connected to the shaft, and as the shaft is rotated, the contact wiper moves along the resistive element, varying the resistance between the contact wiper and the resistive element. This in turn results in a voltage variation. The lower the resistance at a given point, the higher the voltage of that point.

The JA1N056S503UA is particularly useful for applications where precise control is necessary, such as in medical and industrial instruments, where a small variation in resistance can be detected and measured. Its conductive plastic element ensures high reliability and low noise levels, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
