Hello,There is a component shown bellow which i want to use as variable resistor.
The data sheet doesnt tell where to connect each leg.
How do i connect this device?
Thanks.

Hi,

pin 1 and 3 are the end pins of your resistor, so if you select a 10k version you will measure between this pins 10k. Pin#2 is the wiper, where you tap your variable resistance. Thy show how the resistance behave if you are tuning the potentiometer clockwise (CW) or counter-clockwise (CCW).

The potentiometer symbol is usually stamped into the plastic on one side.

What can be clearer than this datasheet picture?
