Potentiometers

Burlingame Associates also announce a complete new line of miniature pre­ cision potentiometers manufactured by the Standard Electronics Mfg. Co., Los Angeles. While the basic applica­ tions of these devices include guided missiles, telemetering, computers, and radar firing control, they are suited for any applications requiring a miniature precision potentiometer. The Type F potentiometer is available in the minimal dimensions of 1 X 1 χ 0.4 inch of rectangular form and is unique in both mechanical design and oper­ ation. The winding form lies length­ wise in the case and is a rhombus in cross section with the contact wiper moving along one of the obtuse angled edges. The wiper is moved by a lead screw which can have as little as three turns (1080°) for full travel or as many as 32 turns (11,520°) for full travel. Any units which have the same type lead screw can be ganged and the windings may be tapped. These units are available in resistance values from 100 to 250,000 ohms with power ratings from 0.25 to 2 watts. Depending upon the range, the maximal length of the device can be 3.5 inches and a maximal width of 0.625 inch. The Type SR is indeed miniature. It is 5/s inch in diameter and 27/32 inch long over the terminals. It is rated at 0.5 watt and can be furnished in resistance values from 100 to 50,000 ohms. In general, these units are designed to operate over a temperature range of — 67° to +165° F., but in some designs alkyd plastic cases can be supplied which extend the upper range to +300° F. Resistance tolerance is normally 5%, but can be supplied to 0.5%. Linearity tolerances are normally 1%, but 0.1% can be furnished. No infor­ mation is available on the torque re­ quirements and it is to be inferred, perhaps, that these devices are not com­ petitive with the micro-torque type such as the Giannini version. Their unique construction and small size should fur­ nish another useful tool.
