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.
