Specialty Printed Circuits

Printed Variable Resistors/Potentiometers

Calienté has also taken its expertise in printed thick film technology to the switch and other specialty markets, offering printed potentiometers, variable resistors and other conductive circuits to the most exacting of tolerances. We can provide linear and rotary pattern for switches used for a variety of market and applications.

We have taken the “art” of printing conductive and resistive inks to a science by identifying and controlling the variables that have traditionally limited the technology. The result is consistency within the part (as well as part to part) that translates into cost savings for our customers.

Benefits

  • Material knowledge ensures linearity with parts and consistency from part to part
  • Process knowledge allows for tight-tolerance printing without trimming
  • Strong supply chain partners in circuit boards through hole-and-surface assembly

Applications

  • Variable Resistor for Mirror Controls
  • Conductive Fault Detection Circuits
  • Battery Tester Strips
  • Pressure Sensors
  • Climate Control and Fan Speed Potentiometers
  • Intermittent Wiper Resistor
