Making the Already Ultra-Thin SoftPot Ultra-Narrow As Well

The ThinPot position sensor is currently a medical standard for multinational companies such as Varian Oncology, Siemens, and Baxter Healthcare, while also being used in many other industrial applications. While the SoftPot was already very ‘thin’ we realized it could achieve even more compact dimensions by narrowing the component width. So while some call this a misnomer, as thickness and width are not the same, more customers approach us with concern to a maximally ‘thin’ component, and no matter which way you are looking at it, this is the ‘thinnest’ out there. Hence the “ThinPot” was born.

Spectra Symbol is a premier source for high quality low form-factor & narrow linear potentiometers. We offer a range of potentiometers with varying features to suit any application. Our line of linear sensors includes the ThinPot featured here, a component that serves as a variable analog voltage divider. This membrane potentiometer measures 10mm wide and 0.5mm thick, making it ideal for applications in even the most difficult locations. It has all the features offered by the SoftPot, but is half as wide. this sensor operates in linear or rotary configurations and is available in lengths of up to 2400mm.

At Spectra Symbol, we aim to provide the most appropriate component for our clients, which is why we offer custom products. We design the ThinPot to meet the varying needs and specifications of business. We also allow our customers to customize their sensors according to what their applications require. Upon request, we can change the shape, size, length, or number of tracks. Some clients even request for custom rotary diameters.
