RV16AF-10-15K-C1K-3LA

The RV16AF-10-15K-C1K-3LA is a rotary potentiometer, also known as a variable resistor or pot, used to control the electrical resistance in a circuit. It consists of a resistive element, a wiper, and terminals for electrical connections. The resistance value can be adjusted by rotating the shaft, which moves the wiper along the resistive element.

Key Features:

• Rotary Design: The potentiometer features a rotary design, allowing users to adjust the resistance by rotating the shaft clockwise or counterclockwise.

• Linear Taper: The potentiometer has a linear taper, meaning the resistance changes linearly with the angle of rotation. This type of taper is commonly used in applications where a uniform change in resistance is desired.

• 15K Ohm Resistance: The potentiometer has a total resistance of 15 kilohms (15KΩ), indicating the maximum resistance between the outer terminals.

• Single Turn: The potentiometer is a single-turn device, meaning the wiper makes one complete revolution around the resistive element.

• Carbon Composition: The resistive element is typically made of carbon composition material, which offers stable and reliable resistance values over time.

• Three Terminals: The potentiometer has three terminals: one for the resistive element's start (C1), one for the wiper (LA), and one for the resistive element's end (C2). These terminals allow for flexible circuit configurations and applications.

• Panel Mount: Designed for panel mounting, the potentiometer can be securely mounted on a control panel or enclosure using mounting hardware.

• Dustproof Construction: The potentiometer may feature dustproof construction to protect the internal components from dust and debris, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

Applications:

• Audio Equipment: Used in audio equipment such as amplifiers, mixers, and equalizers for volume and tone control adjustments.

• Industrial Controls: Integrated into industrial control systems for setting parameters, adjusting settings, and controlling machinery or equipment.

• Instrumentation: Employed in instrumentation and measurement devices for calibration and adjustment of sensor readings or output signals.

• Automotive Electronics: Utilized in automotive applications for controlling dashboard displays, HVAC systems, and other electronic functions.

• Consumer Electronics: Integrated into consumer electronics products such as radios, televisions, and home appliances for user control and adjustment.

• Lighting Controls: Used in lighting controls and dimmer switches to adjust the brightness of lamps or LED lights.
