Working Principle

Description

The Spectra Symbol SoftPot Rotary Potentiometer is a resistive element that functions as a voltage divider. It comprises a conductive resistor, a sealed encasement, and a wiper assembly. By pressing a wiper onto the top circuit, the desired electrical output is produced. The wiper is a non-conductive mechanism that depresses the top circuit, creating a potentiometric output.

Rotary Potentiometer

Dos And Donts

Donts

Avoid excessive pressure on the top circuit to prevent damage.

Do not exceed the recommended power rating to prevent overheating.

Dos

Use appropriate materials for the wiper design such as plastics, metals, sliders, rollers, or wheels.

Ensure proper pressure (usually 1-3 Newtons) is applied from the wiper on the top circuit for effective functioning.

Limits

Dielectric Value

  • Effect: No effect observed at 500VAC for 1 minute.

Repeatability

  • Hysteresis: No hysteresis under normal conditions, but some hysteresis may occur with wiper looseness.

Resolution

  • Analog Output: Theoretically infinite, but affected by variation of contact wiper surface area.
How To Connect

Termination Style

  • Connector: The SoftPot Rotary Potentiometer is terminated with a connector for easy integration.
