Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

The WA2G048P501UA is a member of the rotary potentiometer, or rheostat family. These are electronic components used for adjusting the resistance of an electrical circuit in order to change the current flow or voltage level. They are most commonly used as volume knobs and are made up of three essential components; a wiper, a resistive track, and two end terminals.

The most important component of the potentiometer is the wiper. This is a mechanical contact that slides along the resistive track. The resistive track is an insulating material with a conductive coating, usually composed of graphite and carbon. As the wiper moves along the surface, it creates contact points with the conductive coating. This allows for a path of electrical current to be created, which adjusts the resistance of the circuit.

The other two components can be considered as electrical terminals. The two end terminals provide a path for current to enter the potentiometer. One connection is put on a volume knob or controller, and the other connection receives the signal that the potentiometer is controlling. The two end terminals also act as the ground connection to the resistive path. As the wiper moves along the track, it creates different points of connection between the two end terminals, which in turn changes the amount of resistance in the circuit.

The WA2G048P501UA is specifically a rotary potentiometer that has an operating voltage of 10V. It also has a total resistance of 47k ohms with a maximum input power of 1.25W. It is designed to be small and cost effective, making it a popular choice among manufacturers. It is also available in other values, such as 5K, 10K, and 20K.

The WA2G048P501UA is a versatile component with many application fields. They are commonly used in audio equipment such as amplifiers and mixers, for volume and balance control. They are also used in automotive and aviation instrumentation, as well as medical devices.

In conclusion, the WA2G048P501UAis a rotary potentiometer, or rheostat, which is used to adjust the resistance of an electrical circuit. It is designed to be small and cost effective, making it a popular choice among manufacturers. It has many application fields, including audio equipment, automotive and aviation instrumentation, and medical devices.
