P092N-QC15BR10K

Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

The P092N-QC15BR10K is a product in the line of rotary potentiometers and rheostats; both of which are passive, two-terminal electrical components that offer resistance when voltage is applied. Potentiometers and rheostats differ in the amount of resistances they provide. The P092N-QC15BR10K is an adjustable-type potentiometer which gives a range of resistances when voltage is applied.

The resistances are usually adjustable using a rotary knob. The rotary knob controls the position of a wiper which moves along a resistive substrate and creates a variable resistance along the length of the substrate. The voltage is applied to the two terminals located on either end and the wiper adjusts the voltage by transferring a portion of the voltage to the third terminal.

The P092N-QC15BR10K has a resistive substrate with a length of 15mm and a resistance value of 10K ohms. This component is able to provide linear and logarithmic resistance. It also features an operating temperature range from -10C to +70C with a tolerance of +/-10%.

The P092N-QC15BR10K is particularly suited to applications such as controlling the volume, speed or tilt in consumer electronics and audio equipment, frequency tuning, temperature or resistance control in industrial equipment, and linear regulation of a voltage divider in instrumentation. It can also be utilized as a rheostat, allowing fine adjustment of current or voltage.

For applications that require a higher amount of resistances, a high-value series rheostat can also be used. The advantages of using these components include excellent low-temperature performance, precise temperature control, excellent linearity and fast response, while the disadvantages include cost, size, and limited power capacity.

In conclusion, the P092N-QC15BR10K is a rotary potentiometer and rheostat, offering resistances ranging from 10k ohms to up to several megohms.It has a wide range of applications such as controlling volume, speed, and tilt in consumer electronics, temperature or resistance control in industrial equipment, and linear regulation of a voltage divider in instrumentation.It is also able to be used as a rheostat which allows for precise adjustment of current or voltage.
