How It Works In simple terms, the ThinPot membrane potentiometer is a resistive element, which comprises a conductive resistor, a sealed encasement and a simple wiper assembly. A membrane potentiometer can also function as a voltage divider. The ThinPot is a three-wire system with two resistive output channels and an electrical collector channel. Top Circuit (Collector) Circuit Spacer Bottom Circuit (Resistor) Bottom Adhesive By pressing a wiper down onto the top circuit the SoftPot produces the desired electrical output. The "wiper" is a non-conductive mechanism that depresses the top circuit actuating the potentiometer from the outside of the element. The top and bottom circuits are separated by 0.15mm (0.006") of spacer adhesive build-up and contact between the circuit occurs by pressure (usually 0.7-1.8 Newtons) from the wiper on the top circuit, pushing down until the top circuit connects with the bottom circuit to create a potentiometric output. The construction of the wiper design can adapt to any application because most materials can serve as the wiper: plastics, metals, sliders, rollers, wheels, etc. Also, the ThinPot can also be manually (hand) actuated. spectrasymbol.com Page 3 (888) 795-2283 Diagram - Stock Rotary ThinPot Ø35.40 [Ø1.394] CENTER OF TRACK 6.00 [0.236] ACTIVE WIDTH 10.16 [0.400] 351° ACTIVE ANGLE PIN 1 Ø45.40 [Ø1.787] Ø25.40 [Ø1.000] THRU HOLE 50.00 [1.969] Electrical Schematic Material Cross-Section PIN 3 (GND) (LEFT BUS BAR) 0.41 [0.016] CIRCUIT PIN 2 (COLLECTOR) 0.05 [0.002] 3M 200MP ADHESIVE PIN 1 (V+) 10K 0.46 [0.018] TOTAL THICKNESS (RIGHT BUS BAR) How to Order - Rotary ThinPot TSP R Series Model TSP = ThinPot R = Rotary 0036 Center of Active Track 0036 = 35.40mm 0351 103 Active Angle Resistance 0351 = 351° 103 = 10 KOhm Ind.
