Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats consist of a spindle mechanism, which has an adjustable resistance. In this article, we will discuss the broadly used RKS2K5E rotary potentiometer and its application fields and working principle.

RKS2K5E is a hybrid rotary potentiometer which uses a combination of ceramic and metal electrodes for increased life with an adjustable resistor range of 2K to 5E. It has an embedded carbon resistor and a voltage range of 48~50 VDC. The potentiometer has a mechanical life of 1 million operations or above, and an operating temperature of -20 ~ +60°C.

RKS2K5E is mainly used in audio equipment, such as in amplifiers, mixers, and pre-amplifiers. It is also used in digital and analog electronic equipment, such as in display boards, radios, and calculators. It can also be used in automotive electronics, guidance systems, and telecommunication equipment.

The working principle of the RKS2K5E potentiometer is based on voltage divider circuit. A rotary wiper is mounted on the spindle of the potentiometer. The wiper comes in contact with the resistive element, and the angle of the wiper determines the output voltage. The output voltage is a proportional fraction of the total voltage applied to the potentiometer. If the wiper moves clockwise on the spindle, the output voltage increases, and if the wiper moves counterclockwise, the output voltage decreases.

In conclusion, the RKS2K5E is a hybrid rotary potentiometer which uses a combination of ceramic and metal electrodes for longer life. It has a wide application in audio electronics, automotive electronics, and telecommunication. The working principle is based on the voltage divider circuit, where the wiper, mounted on the spindle, determines the output voltage.
