Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

Rotary potentiometers and rheostats are electronic components used to control the flow of electrical current. They consist of a rotating shaft or dial that adjusts the resistance in a circuit, allowing for precise regulation of voltage, current, and power. These devices are commonly used in audio equipment, lighting systems, and industrial controls, where they provide a tactile way to adjust settings without requiring complex digital interfaces. They come in various sizes, shapes, and configurations to suit different applications and offer reliable performance over a long lifespan.
