Conductive Plastic Potentiometers
Potentiometers convert rotary motion into a change of resistance, supplying a smooth transition of voltage or current levels.
The resulting voltage output may be used to control position transducers in a wide variety of potential applications.
The five series listed below are all 2 W plastic potentiometers and are available in resistances from 100 Ohm to 5 MOhm,
inclusive. Available tapers include linear, log, and antilog to meet a wide range of application requirements. These single
turn devices have a 6,35 mm [0.250 in] diameter shaft that is available in a range of lengths. Most shafts are nickel-plated
brass. Most configurations have a standard 3/8-32 NEF-2A bushing; a high torque version is also available. Termination
types are solder lug (with or without a center tap), PC pin or fast-on, all are solder-dipped. Custom designs are available
upon request.

Electrical rotation

Contact resistance variation is the maximum momentary change in contact resistance that occurs when the wiper is moved from one
location to another location. The larger this change, the more difficult it is to set the trimmer potentiometer and the more unstable the long
term setting will be.
