Potentiometer or slide resistor - is used for direct, integral connection with circuit board containing further circuit components and has straight resistor track

摘要

The printed circuit board is intended for the construction of superordinate units by the modular construction method the potentiometer consists of a resistive track and a wiper sliding on it and operated from outside. The resistive track (2) is directly mounted on a circuit board (1) and a conducting wiper track (6) is provided parallel to or concentric with the resistive track (2) and it is on the same side of the printed circuit board. A slot (5) is made in the board for guiding and support of the wiper (8) operating elements (9).
