Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats─P170S2-E15BR100 Application Field and Working Principle

Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are both devices used to adjust electrical resistance in a circuit, but they differ in several ways and are used for different purposes. A rotary potentiometers is an adjustable resistor with a defined resistance range, which can be varied by turning a shaft or knob to change the position of a wiper along its resistor element. This provides a continuous resistance change, and the output voltage is proportional to the position of the wiper. On the other hand, a rheostat is an adjustable resistor with an infinite range of adjustment, allowing a range of resistances between a minimum and a maximum. Unlike a potentiometer, a rheostat has only two terminals and is used to control current by varying the amount of resistance in a circuit.

P170S2-E15BR100 is a type of rotary potentiometer commonly used in electronic devices. It offers a large variety of features, including a compact size, top nut storage, rohs compliance, and long life. It has a resistance range of 10 ohms and a maximum power rating of 100mW. The device also features a 15-turn top pot with a scale that can be adjusted according to the user’s preference.

The main application field of the P170S2-E15BR100 device is for industrial controls, such as controlling levels, temperatures, and pressures. This device can also be used for audio mixing, in which case the rotary knob can be used to control the sound volume and the wiper can be used to adjust the balance between bass and treble. The device is also used in medical equipment and automotive systems.

The working principle of rotary potentiometer is based on the varying voltage divider principle. In this principle, two resistors are connected in series and the output is taken from the junction between them. When a potentiometer is used, the two resistors are unequal and a wiper is connected at one end that can be moved along the resistor. As the shaft is rotated, the resistance between the two resistors increases or decreases, depending on the direction of movement. This change in resistance causes a corresponding change in the voltage at the output. By changing the voltage output, the device can be used to adjust levels, temperature, or other values in a circuit.

The P170S2-E15BR100 is a versatile and reliable device that has a wide range of applications. It offers accurate and precise control and is suitable for use in a variety of industries and applications. It is a dependable device that can be used to accurately adjust parameters and values in a circuit.
