ABSTRACT:
The potentiometer has a housing in which a carrier plate which supports a resistance strip is disposed. A rotary pin is supported on the housing and has a sliding contact connected to the rotary pin for engaging the resistance strip. The carrier plate is rotatably connected to the housing and is embodied for the engagement of a turning tool. It assumes its position with regard to the housing because of a frictional connection. The resistance strip can be oriented with regard to the housing or the sliding contact by rotating the carrier plate relative to the housing and the rotary pin.
