Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are two different types of electrical devices each with its own unique purpose and application field. The purpose of this article is to explain the working principle and application field of the RUS12R5E unit and how it is different from other Rotary Potentiometers or Rheostats.

The RUS12R5E is a type of rotary potentiometer which is a three-terminal resistor with a rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. The device is constructed of two resistive elements - a resistance track and a wiper. The integral incrementer (slider) of the RUS12R5E can increase or decrease the total resistance within a specified range. The device is used in electronically controlled systems where a parameter such as voltage, resistance or current needs to be adjusted.

The working principle for this device is simple. When power is applied to the unit, the integrated resistance track causes the voltage on the output pin to vary depending on the position of the wiper. This allows for variable control of current or voltage depending on the specific application. The incrementer will also change the values on the output when it is rotated.

The RUS12R5E is best suited for applications such as level control circuits, signal processing, measurement and test instruments, and servo control systems, where the amount of resistance must be precisely controlled. It can also be used in temperature control systems as a temperature set point adjustment. It is also capable of handling large power with steady performance over a large range.

Unlike other Rotary Potentiometers or Rheostats, the RUS12R5E has an additional functionality by allowing the incrementer to move incrementally rather than continuously, making it well-suited for precise voltage, current, or resistance adjustments. In addition, the device is also RoHS compliant due to its low thermal dissipation as compared to other devices.

In conclusion, the RUS12R5E is a rotary potentiometer with excellent precision and excellent thermal dissipation. It is designed to provide variable resistance across a wide range of applications, and is suitable for both industrial and consumer level applications where control of current or voltage is required. The device has the additional functionality of an incremental setting feature that is not present in other types of potentiometers, and its RoHS compliance makes it an attractive option for users wishing to reduce their environmental impact.
