This design idea details how a standard volume control can be replaced by its solid-state equivalent. Digital potentiometers are often advertised as replacements for rotary volume controls. To ...

Microcontroller-based products sometimes require rotary switches. As many microcontrollers have an onboard ADC, it is easy to replace the rotary switch with a low cost potentiometer, when a rotary ...

The Model P270 27-mm rotary potentiometer has a life cycle of up to 1 million rotations and targets such applications as hydraulic-valve controllers for heavy equipment. The Model P270 27-mm rotary ...

A 12.71-mm rotary-panel potentiometer, Model 260, has a life cycle of up to 1 million rotations. It features a conductive plastic element with up to six gangs, and is IP66 sealed for dusty and ...

Rotary potentiometers, switches, and encoders all share a basic design: adjustment is done via a shaft onto which a knob is attached, and knobs are sold separately. That doesn’t mean one knob fits all ...
