Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats, is an electro-mechanical device that can be used to measure as well as control a range of physical parameters such as voltage, current, force, resistance, and temperature. The P160KNP-0QC20B50K is a rotary potentiometer that belongs to this family. The fundamental components of this device include a resistor, a conductive wiper, and a variable reference voltage. Before delving into practical applications of the P160KNP-0QC20B50K, let us take a look at its working principle.

The rotary potentiometer consists of a circular resistor that is divided into several equal sections. There is an arm commonly known as a wiper present at the center of the resistor which is connected to a shaft. This shaft is capable of rotating up to 270 degrees in either direction. As the shaft rotates, the wiper comes in contact with the resistance segments, and the resistance value changes since the wiper is a conductive element.

The wiper is typically connected to pin 3 of the resistor. Pin 1 of the resistor is the reference pin that is connected to a reference voltage such as 5V or 12V. Pin 2 is connected to a load such as a capacitor, resistor or integrated circuit. The voltage or current on the load will depend on the position of the wiper. As the wiper moves from one end of the resistor to the other, the resistance change is translated to a voltage or current change in the load.

The P160KNP-0QC20B50K rotary potentiometer is a popular choice in a variety of applications such as lighting, audio mixer, communication systems, signal generator, audio amplifiers, and instrumentation amplifiers. It is a thick-film miniaturized device with a B50K resistance value of 10KΩ ± 30%. The P160KNP-0QC20B50K is a single-turn potentiometer with an electronic rotary switch which can detect four different states, such as (1) OFF-ON, (2) OFF-ON-OFF, (3) ON-OFF and (4) ON-OFF-ON. It also features a rotary terminal block that allows easy connection with cables.

In addition to the rotary switch, this potentiometer includes an LED indicator to indicate the direction of the switch operation. This LED indicator is energized when the switch is in the ON position and de-energized when it is in the OFF position. Also, it has an environmental rating of IP67, which provides dust and moisture protection while operating at temperatures of -40 ℃ to +85

℃. The P160KNP-0QC20B50K has a maximum torque rating of 2.4 Ncm with a maximum insulation resistance of 100 MΩ and dielectric strength of 1500 Vp-p and a switching voltage of AC 250V/10A.
