This is Spectra Symbol SoftPot Rotary Potentiometer-SP-R-0046-353-103-5%-RH Female Plain Housing connector ±5% linearity. The SoftPot membrane potentiometer is a resistive element, which comprises a conductive resistor, a sealed encasement and a simple wiper assembly. A membrane potentiometer can also function as a voltage divider. The SoftPot is a three-wire system with two resistive output channels and an electrical collector channel.
By pressing a wiper down onto the top circuit, the SoftPot produces the desired electrical output. The “wiper” is a non-conductive mechanism that depresses the top circuit actuating the potentiometer from the outside of the element. The top and bottom circuits are separated by 0.15mm (0.006″) of spacer adhesive build-up and contact between the circuit occurs by pressure (usually 1-3 Newtons) from the wiper on the top circuit, pushing down until the top circuit connects with the bottom circuit to create a potentiometric output.
The construction of the wiper design can adapt to any application because most materials can serve as the wiper: plastics, metals, sliders, rollers, wheels, etc. Also, the SoftPot can also be manually (hand) actuated.

Features:
- IP65 Dust Proof, Waterproof (Intense Spray)
- Polyester Substrate
- 3M Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA)
- Repeatability: No hysteresis, but with any wiper looseness some hysteresis will occur
- Power Rating (depending on size, varies with length and temperature): 1 Watt max. @ 25°C, </=0.5 Watt recommended
- Resolution: Analog output theoretically infinite; affected by variation of contact wiper surface area.
- Dielectric Value: No affect @ 500VAC for 1 minute
