• Rotary Potentiometers

  P091N-FA15BR10K is a type of rotary potentiometers, a variable resistor component which is used to control or adjust the voltage and current in an electrical circuit. In its most common use, the rotary potentiometer acts like a volume control, allowing the user to adjust the loudness of an audio device, or to adjust the brightness of a light.

  Rotary potentiometers are made up of three parts: a brush, wiper and resistive element. The brush is the part which sits against the resistive element, and the wiper moves along with the rotation of the knob, and connects the brush to the output end of the potentiometer. As the knob is rotated, the wiper moves over the resistive element, allowing the current to pass through the resistive element and out of the wiper. This current is then transmitted to the brush, where it is then sent to the output port of the potentiometer.

  The P091N-FA15BR10K rotary potentiometer is a single-turn type with a resistance range of 10k ohms. It is designed for use in an analog CW circuit, and has a maximum power rating of 0.2 Watts. The potentiometer also features a solder lug terminal which makes it easy to connect the device to an external circuit.

• Rheostats

  Rheostats are also variable resistor components which are used to control or adjust the voltage and current in an electrical circuit. These components are generally smaller than rotary potentiometers, and are usually configured in a linear architecture. Unlike rotary potentiometers, rheostats do not have a knob or wiper to adjust the voltage or current. Instead, they are typically adjusted by turning the resistance element itself, or by altering the connection between the input and output ends.

  Rheostats are commonly used in applications such as motor speed control and dimming lighting fixtures. They have a wide range of resistance values, depending on the application they are being used for, ranging from a few ohms to several hundred ohms. The P091N-FA15BR10K is not a rheostat, and as such, is not suitable for these types of applications.
