P140KH-F20AR10K

Rotary potentiometers, also known as rotary rheostats, are a type of electrical component that is used to control electric current. They are commonly used in a wide range of applications, from basic circuits to complex control systems. The P140KH-F20AR10K is a rotary potentiometer that is used in many applications.

The P140KH-F20AR10K has a maximum operating temperature of up to 140°C, which makes it suitable for use in a variety of environments. It has a 0.25-inch diameter shaft, which is standard for most rotating rheostats. It is used to control the flow of current and is mainly used in AC applications. The P140KH-F20AR10K also has a small form factor, making it suitable for mounting in tight spaces.

The working principle of a rotary potentiometer is simple. It consists of a circular path which has a resistance that varies along its circumference. When a voltage or current is applied, the resistance along the circular path alters accordingly. The resistance varies depending on the angle of the rotary rheostat. Therefore, by varying the angle, the resistance can be adjusted to meet the desired current or voltage.

The P140KH-F20AR10K is widely used in various applications, such as audio amplifiers, solar energy systems, and industrial control systems. It is commonly used in audio amplifiers to control the level of gain. In solar energy systems, the potentiometer can be adjusted to control the amount of current delivered to the solar cells. It can also be used to adjust the speed of a motor in industrial control systems.

The P140KH-F20AR10K is a high-precision rotary potentiometer that is designed for use in a wide range of applications. It is ideal for applications that require precise control of current and voltage, and is also suitable for tight spaces. With its high-temperature rating and standard shaft diameter, the P140KH-F20AR10K is a versatile and reliable component for various applications.
