Rotary Potentiometers

A rotary potentiometer is a type of resistive transducer that is used to measure and control electrical signals and energy. It works on the principle of a resistive element being either fixed or adjustable, and as it turns, its resistance changes proportionally. This type of potentiometer is also referred to as a variable resistor, a potmeter, or even a dial. It is commonly used in a range of applications across multiple industries, including automotive, medical, consumer electronics, data processing, sound engineering, and more.

The P231-FA20BR5K is a type of rotary potentiometer. It is an electromechanical device designed for sensing and regulating electrical signals. The device has a set of pre-defined resistance points corresponding to a range of output voltages, allowing it to be used as a variable voltage divider. The device is designed to be used in a variety of signal-processing applications such as audio mixers, peaking filters, air conditioning systems, power meters and more. The device is capable of handling up to 3A of DC current, has an adjustable resistance range of 47 to 1k ohms, and is available in a choice between through-hole and surface mount packages.

Rheostats

A rheostat is a type of variable resistor that is also commonly used in measuring and controlling electrical signals and energy. It works on the same principle as a rotary potentiometer but is typically designed for a much higher current rating. It is commonly used in applications such as motor speed control, starting and stopping large DC motors, and circuit wattage measurement.The P231-FA20BR5K is a type of rheostat. It is an electromechanical device designed for sensing and controlling large amounts of electric current. This rheostat is able to handle up to 25A of DC current, has a resistance range of 2 ~ 10 ohms, and is available in either a through-hole or surface mount package. The device is ideal for use in motor control applications, such as speed controllers, electric motors, and electric pumps. It is also useful for wattage measurement, dynamic braking of motors, and other high current applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of rotary potentiometers and rheostats is based on the same principle of resistance. In both cases, a resistive element is used to control and sense the electric current. The key difference between rotary potentiometers and rheostats is the amount of current that can be handled. Rotary potentiometers are typically designed to handle small currents, while rheostats can handle large currents.

The P231-FA20BR5K is a potentiometer that is based on this principle. It is designed to sense and control electrical signals, and it is capable of handling up to 3A of DC current. It works by the resistive element\'s resistance changing proportionally as it is turned. Due to the adjustable resistance range of 47 to 1k ohms, the device can be used as a variable voltage divider, making it suitable for a wide range of signal-processing applications. The device is also designed to be used in a variety of high current applications, such as motor speed control, starting and stopping large DC motors, and circuit wattage measurement.
