This design idea details how a standard volume control can be replaced by its solid-state equivalent. Digital potentiometers are often advertised as replacements for rotary volume controls. To ...

Microcontroller-based products sometimes require rotary switches. As many microcontrollers have an onboard ADC, it is easy to replace the rotary switch with a low cost potentiometer, when a rotary ...

CUI Devices’ Motion & Control Group has introduced a new rotary potentiometer series offering single or dual gang models as well as dual gang options with an on-off switch. The PTN16 series is housed ...

Razor-thin, flat membrane potentiometers expand designers’ sensing repertoire. Conventional mechanical potentiometers are the old workhorse of electrical controls and position sensing. However, these ...

ams AG introduced the AS5600, a magnetic rotary position sensor which makes it easier than ever before to replace a traditional potentiometer with a more reliable contactless alternative. To appeal to ...

Bourns has released two rotary position sensing families designed for a wide range of applications that require consistent performance.  The company announced the PST065 Series 6mm Incremental ...

Potentiometers, rheostats, and trimmers are adjustable resistors used to measure or divide voltages in order to protect or control circuits. The terminology surrounding potentiometers and related ...
