Farnell offers a range of rheostats for applications requiring adjustable resistance and current control in electrical and electronic systems. These components provide flexible manual adjustment for a variety of power management requirements.
Rheostats are variable resistors designed primarily to control current flow within a circuit. Available in multiple resistance values, power ratings and mounting configurations, selection considerations include resistance range, current handling capability, operating voltage and mechanical design.
Applications:
- Motor speed control
- Lighting control systems
- Industrial equipment
- Laboratory testing
- Power regulation circuits
- Educational and training systems
