Adjustable Resistance: Allows for real-time adjustment of resistance values within a specific range.
Three Terminals: Comprises one fixed and two variable terminals, where one variable terminal is often left unused in some applications.
Wide Range of Values: Available in a variety of resistance values, typically from a few ohms to several megaohms.
Linear or Logarithmic: Comes in linear (equal resistance change per turn) or logarithmic (exponential resistance change per turn) scales for different applications.
Rotary or Slider Types: Available in rotary (dial) or slider (linear motion) forms to suit different user interface requirements.
Versatile Use: Commonly used for volume control in audio devices, as well as in tuning and calibration in circuits.
Easy Integration: Can be easily integrated into circuits with minimal additional components required.
