Slide Potentiometers

A slide potentiometer, also known as a "slide pot," can be used in many applications. The original application was for electrical control systems in automobiles, but they are also used in many other applications such as robotics, industrial automation, medical, and scientific instrumentation.

In its most basic form, a slide pot is a variable resistor with a movable contact (slider) that controls the resistance value of the circuit. These potentiometers typically feature three terminals, one of which serves as a common ground connection, while the other two terminals are connected to the slider and the remaining pins. By changing the position of the slider, a user can adjust the resistance of the circuit.

The most common type of slide potentiometer is the linear type, which changes resistance proportionally with the position of the slider. Linear slide potentiometers are typically used in applications such as volume control or other applications where linear control is required. They are also relatively simple to install and maintain.

Rotary slide pots, or "rotary faders," are another type of slide potentiometer. These devices usually have a rotary knob or lever to control the position and movement of the slider. Rotary slide pots are typically used in applications such as audio processing and control systems, where precise control is required. This type of potentiometer can be adjusted with a single finger or thumb, making it easy to use in a busy environment.

Slide pots are manufactured to exacting standards, and are designed to be very robust and reliable pieces of equipment. They are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes, weights, and materials to suit virtually any application. For example, standard slide pots are usually made of plastic, while heavy-duty slide pots may be manufactured out of metal for increased durability.

In the case of the PS100-1B1BR5K slide potentiometer, it is a single-turn linear sliding potentiometer. It features a 1K ohm potentiometer with a slide arm length of 95 mm and a mounting depth of 16 mm. It also has a single-pole, single-throw switch and a 5K ohm damping resistor. This make it ideal for applications that require precise linear control settings.

Slide potentiometers provide accurate output signals with minimum distortion and are relatively simple to use and maintain. They are a versatile and reliable option for many demanding applications. The PS100-1B1BR5K is an excellent example of a slide pot that provides reliable linear control in a wide variety of applications.
