Abstract: A miniature potentiometer including a casing (10) molded on a first sub-assembly comprising a support (11), an electro-resistive track (12) with extensions (13) linked to terminals (14),(15) extending outwardly from the casing, and a collector plate (16) having a collector plate terminal (14) extending outwardly therefrom. A second sub-assembly is housed in the casing (10) and includes a wiper (18) integral with a wiper-holder (19). The first and second sub-assemblies are attached to one another by an electrically conductive shaft (21).The wiper (18) comprises a first part defined by an annular plate (29) to which the wiper-holder (19) is molded. The first part also includes an opening (31) and through-holes (32) which allow plastic material to flow therethrough. The wiper (18) further comprises a second part (33), extending radially out from the annular plate (29) and having resilient arms (35,36) with protuberances (35a,36a) for frictionally engaging the resistive track (12).

Abstract: A tantalum capacitor comprising a cylindrical body and an axial tantalum anode wire. This wire is first folded and then soldered to an anode connection wire roughly parallel to a cathode connection wire which is itself soldered to the body of this capacitor. The connection wires include preferably a double right-angled section so that the distance between the outward portions of this wire correspond to predetermined standards.

Abstract: A potentiometer, consisting of a general cylindrical shape, on the lateral surface of which it has two parallel projections, so that the lateral terminals are located with respect to said projections, the elements it comprises (slider-holder, slider, resistant track and collector) being located inside the frame. The slider-holder is guided in the frame by setting a cut.Iadd., or depression .Iaddend.wherein there is a projection against which a projection of the slider-holder will butt, which has a new angular projection on which there are two pivots which will set into both holes of the slider for the fixing in-between. The slider is provided with two oval segments in an inclined position which will contact the resistant track. The slider and the collector are fixed to the slider-holder on some cuts provided therein. The slider is provided with two projections for contacting the collector, the latter having a circular crown shape.
