Potentiometer is an electronic element that is used to control and regulate electrical devices, as changing the electrical resistance can change the output electrical voltage. The potentiometer is a passive element consisting of an actuator that rotates and works as a voltage divider.
Axial potentiometers are the most common types of potentiometers and find a number of applications in electronics and are part of any electrical device. Axial single-turn potentiometers are usually a cylindrical base with a rotating axis and are used where one turn provides sufficient control. Their most popular application is in audio systems for sound control, but they can also be used for various electrical appliances using heaters and temperature control.
Different types of potentiometers can be combined depending on the application and the type of work they have to do, they are also available with different features and can be built into a panel, via THT, SMD or PCB soldering or bulk mounting.< /p>
