As a variety of equipment has become compact and improved in integration degree aiming at improving functions, the panel-mount type potentiometers used for adjusting the voltage, has been required to be compact. On the other hand, a demand for high-reliability in equipment has been increasingly growing. To meet the market demand,Panasonic Electronic Devices Co., Ltd. has developed the compact potentiometer with the industry's smallest size, which is excellent in endurance-reliability property as well as high accuracy. The newly developed components are suitable for the general-use electronic measuring equipment, the control equipment, the electronic instrument, the radio communication equipment and also for the amusement machines such as the pinball machine and the business-use game machine.
