Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

Rotary potentiometers, rheostats and similar controls are designed to provide variable resistance to the flow of electricity. They can be used to create varying levels of resistance, allowing for customized control or variable power. The P231-EC15BR10K is a rotary potentiometer, rheostat and rotary switch all in one.P231-EC15BR10K is a multi-function rotary switch with a 15mm diameter body and a 6mm diameter shaft. It features a maximum resistance of 10k ohms and an off-state resistance of <2 ohms. It has a high-temperature silicone rubber boot and is rated to IP66 ingress protection.In general, rotary potentiometers are used in a wide variety of applications, such as volume control, brightness control, speed control, frequency selection, and electronic motor control applications. The P231-EC15BR10K is suitable for use in combination with amplifiers, oscillators, voltage regulators, voltage dividers, and low-power valves, making it suitable for audio applications.The most common application fields for the P231-EC15BR10K rotary potentiometer/rheostat/switch are:

• Amplifier and audio circuits
• Hobby robotics
• School STEM projects
• Tone control for rotary instruments
• Professional audio and microphone mixing boards
• LED dimming circuits
• Power supply adjustments in motor and medical instruments
• Voltage adjustment in consumer appliances

The working principle of the P231-EC15BR10K rotary potentiometer/rheostat/switch is fairly simple. It has a rotating shaft that is connected to three terminals on the circuit board. As the shaft is rotated, the resistance between the terminals varies. This changing resistance can be used to adjust the voltage going to a device or to resist the voltage entirely.The potentiometer has two screw terminals for the power supply, which should be connected to a DC power supply. The third terminal is the output and should be connected to the device whose voltage needs to be adjusted. As the shaft is rotated, the voltage between the two output terminals will decrease or increase depending on the direction of rotation.Because the P231-EC15BR10K is a multi-function rotary switch, it can also be used as a switch. When the shaft is in the off-position the resistance between the output terminals will be <2 ohms, which is a high enough resistance to effectively isolate the output. This can be used to create a switch with adjustable thresholds, or to act as a standalone switch for controlling other circuits.The P231-EC15BR10K can provide an accurate and efficient way to adjust a variety of voltages and signals. Its versatile design allows it to find applications in various fields and it is a reliable and cost-effective choice for many applications.
