Operating Principle

The R097G-B10K-15R B10K-25P J8-M7x5 6x10-Open 2x5 employs the most common classic potentiometer structure. The resistive element typically consists of a horseshoe-shaped carbon film or conductive plastic layer. When the user rotates the central shaft, the metal slider and brush move in a circular path along the resistive layer. By changing the contact position between the brush and the resistive layer, the resistance value varies continuously and smoothly, thereby adjusting the analog signal. This well-established design has been extensively tested in the market, demonstrating excellent stability and reliability. It precisely aligns with the intuitive “rotational” interaction habit, satisfying signal adjustment requirements across various scenarios.
