Benefitting from the Development of Linear Potentiometers
Unless you’re an electronics junkie, you probably have not heard of potentiometers before.
But
whether you have heard of them or not, you have most likely used it in an electronic appliance on
aregular basis.
Potentiometers, or “pots” as they are called for short, are threeterminal resistors
that serve as voltage dividers allowing a controller to adjust the voltage level needed to operate
an electrical device.
It is used in many ordinary electronic appliances such as audio controls,
dimmers, TVs , and medical equipment.
A linear potentiometer is one type of pot commonly found in many applications.
Consisting of a
contact slider and a one end ground terminal, a linear potentiometer creates a resistance
proportional to the distance between the two points.
As technology has improved so has the
design of linear potentiometers making it more convenient and easy to use.
They are now
available in ultrathin designs which make t
