The ThinPot membrane potentiometer from Spectra Symbol is a resistive element comprised of a conductive resistor, sealed encasement and simple wiper assembly. The device can also function as a voltage divider. The ThinPot is a three-wire system with two resistive output channels and an electrical collector channel. By pressing a wiper down onto the top circuit the ThinPot 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 (0.006in) of spacer adhesive build-up and contact between the circuits 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.
