Rotary potentiometers and rheostats are electronic components used in a variety of applications that involve automation and control. They are commonly referred to as “pots” and typically involve adjusting the position of a slider or a knob to change the level of resistance in the circuit. One of the most popular products in this category is the PRM162-K415K-103B1, which is a potentiometer and rheostat combination.

The PRM162-K415K-103B1 is a bobbin-type, multi-turn potentiometer and rheostat combination, great for precision control applications such as power supply adjustments, audio and audio equipment adjustments, and even servo control systems. It is designed with a housing and wiper assembly that allow for linear and multi-turn movements, like all rotary potentiometers and rheostats. Built from high-grade materials, the PRM162-K415K-103B1 stands up to harsh environments and holds up for long-term use.

This combination offers both a potentiometer with 3 terminals (3-connectors) and a rheostat with 2 terminals (2-connectors). The potentiometer, the most popular type of rotary potentiometers, has all 3 terminals wired internally to create a voltage divider circuit. This means that it can connect two different pieces of equipment at the same time, by allowing a user to change the mechanical position of the wiper relative to the contact points of the resistive element or track. The wiper will then move and divide the voltage between two points according to the position it is in.

The rheostat, on the other hand, is a two-terminal device where the user can adjust the resistance by changing the mechanical position of the wiper relative to the resistive element or track. Unlike the potentiometer, the rheostat has all the current flowing through the contact points of the resistive element or track and not to the wiper itself, so the total resistance of the circuit stays the same. This is why rheostats are great for controlling low-level current applications and they’re often found in audio systems and motors.

The PRM162-K415K-103B1 is a great addition to any control or automation project. With its precise control, durability, and a combination of a potentiometer and rheostat, it is the perfect choice for both industrial and commercial applications. Whether you’re looking for a way to adjust the power level of a device or to control an audio system, the PRM162-K415K-103B1 is the perfect solution.
