Results for tag: "Potentiometer"

A potentiometer is a type of electrical switch used to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. It is a variable resistor, meaning that it can be adjusted to control the amount of current flowing through the circuit. Potentiometers are commonly used in audio equipment, such as amplifiers and speakers, as well as in industrial applications, such as motor control and robotics. They are also used in consumer electronics, such as televisions and computers. Potentiometers are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can be used in both AC and DC circuits. They are typically constructed from a resistive material, such as carbon or metal, and are available in both linear and rotary designs. Potentiometers are also available with a variety of features, such as adjustable resistance, temperature compensation, and noise reduction. The potentiometer market is highly competitive, with a wide range of manufacturers offering products for a variety of applications. Some of the leading companies in the market include Bourns, CTS Corporation, Honeywell, Panasonic, and TE Connectivity. Show Less Read more
