The SoftPot membrane potentiometer is a resistive element, which comprises a conductive resistor, a sealed encasement, and a simple wiper assembly. It can function as a voltage divider. 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 1-3 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. The SoftPot can also be manually (hand) actuated.
- Repeatability: No hysteresis, but with any wiper looseness some hysteresis will occur
- Power Rating: 1 Watt max. @ 25C
- Resolution: Analog output theoretically infinite; affected by variation of contact wiper surface area
- Dielectric Value: No affect @ 500VAC for 1 minute
- Package Includes: 1 x Spectra Symbol SoftPot Linear Potentiometer-SP-L-0100-103-3%-RH 100mm Female Plain Housing Connector 3% Linearity
