How to Wire a Potentiometer | Galco

I am sorry but your website doesn't work, may you can help, I am looking for a volume control with switch that has 5 prongs to connect to surface mount on side of board I think it was 80K, it is for Creative Labs Inspire 6600 6.1 Computer Speakers, if you have it please let me know. Thanks,

This is zero help. I dont have a chassis??? I have a lightbulb. Which is NEGATIVE and POSITIVE??

Very vague

shafts and knobs ftw!

i only clicked because shes cute

How to wire a three wire dimmer to two wires in the wall

"Wiring a potentiometer is a very straight forward process" ...me: cries

Sodder ? What is "sodder" ?

why no one is doing a how to wire a sliding potentiometer ,,i have a 3 pin one can you tell me which wire goes where ,,,thanks

I still don't understand where the ends of the wires go to and how they connect to a speaker or a battery

thank you!! what about 8-pin pots though? (those with an on/off switch)

Oh my God, it depends on what you want to use it for, and NO you cannot put so much voltage or current through them, they will burn out, also don't set your multimeter to volts...lol, it needs to be set to resistance. to test what resistance it is if it doesn't state it then connect the multimeter to tabs 1 & 3, to use it as a simple volume you can connect 1 & 2 together only leaving 3 alone, now put the multimeter to 1 & 3( as 2 is connected to 1) and turn it, you will then see the resistance drop as you go higher.

What a hideous noise to kick off a video with.

Man ur smart

Damn she's sexy.

It's wrong to have a pretty woman as teacher, nobody listens and learns anything...

what is the difference between type A and type B potentiometers ?

I just watch another video and 1 2 and 3 like you said was positive1 signal2 and groung 3

Hwo to determine the terminal of rotary potentiometer

I like hearing you say shaft

Surely she meant ohmmeter?

She almost kept a straight face the entire time. Well done.

She keeps from laughing so much it's great

I came to see comments about shafts and knobs, I'm quite disappointed.

Thanks, Ms. Practiced Hand Gesture!

"How to wire a potentiometer." .........Better yet, find another source of information.

So you set that nice Fluke Meter to VDC to measure the Resistance change of the Potentiometer? Got it.

Nice video.... and nice nails :-)

Would this work for controlling the speed of a dc motor im running about 33volts with no load

looks like katie has some competition cuz she got that BOMB

This is so sweet and perfect video. Also very good in managing and editing , Thank You

You only need 2 leads for hot signal control, granted your inputs ground themselves when nothing is connected. The third pin is most used for audio ( non dc electrical control. Never attach anything to this pin if controlling voltage as you will cause a short to ground. So 3 pins for audio and 2 pins for voltage control.

Thank you

turn that shaft now.

I looked at about 25 wiring diagrams of potentiometer terminals. With the potentiometer positioned the way you have it. Some had ground and power/input terminals reversed. How can you tell which way a potentiometer is structured? I thought they were all the same: Ground Signal/Output Power/ VCC. But judging from the wiring diagrams they are not?

Just curious. Some pronounce it potentiooooometer and some potentiomeeeeter. Is it US / UK or just two ways of saying it?

Sweet, that's exactly what I needed to know! Thanks!
