Huiren Electronics variable adjustable potentiometers

Manually adjustable, variable, electrical resistor. Huiren Electronics CP50 potentiometer has a resistance element that is attached to the circuit by three contacts, or terminals. The ends of the resistance element are attached to two input voltage conductors of the circuit, and the third contact, attached to the output of the circuit, is usually a movable terminal that slides across the resistance element, effectively dividing it into two resistors. Since the position of the movable terminal determines what percentage of the input voltage will actually be applied to the circuit, the potentiometer can be used to vary the magnitude of the voltage; for this reason it is sometimes called a voltage divider. Typical uses of mount potentiometers are in radio volume controls and television brightness controls.
