Mechanical potentiometers, whether serving as front panel controls or as trimpots on circuit boards, can develop intermittent slider connections. If the slider connection becomes an open circuit, ...

A circuit board is designed to send current to different ... small wheels underneath it in an electrical component called a potentiometer. Those wheels are in contact with a track of resistive ...

To get around the built-in short-circuit protection he needed a potentiometer to limit the current while allowing for adjustments. His first circuit used a resistor salvaged from an AT supply and ...

Audio engineers refer to a panoramic-potentiometer circuit as a circuit that generates left and right signals of correct amplitudes from a monaural signal and places the signal's image anywhere in a ...
