What is a potentiometer?

In short, the so-called ponti is a passive component. Its task: to regulate the electrical resistance - for example in amplifiers or radio and television sets. As a rule, a distinction is made between different designs:


  • Wire potentiometer
  • Multi-turn potentiometer
  • Layer potentiometer
  • Trim potentiometer
  • Tandem potentiometer
  • Rotary potentiometer with switch
  • Foil potentiometers
  • Motorized potentiometers
  • Electronic potentiometers
In terms of construction, the potentiometer consists of a resistive material which is located on or between non-conductive carriers. A sliding contact, the so-called wiper, scans this resistance material - in this way a variable resistance value can be tapped.
