A Study on Decreasing of Sliding Noise of a Carbon Film Variable Resistor

탄소 피막 가변 저항기의 접동 잡음 감소에 관한 연구

Contact resistance variation which may be called sliding noise in carbon film variable resistors whose resistance elements consists of linear resistivity distribution were measured with several kinds of sliders and were analyzed to reduce the contact resistance variation. About the measuring method, the standard method of measuring contact resistance variation specified by the variable Resistance Components Institute was adupted. By analyzing the experimental results, it has been shown that the primary cause of contact resistance variation is due to current constriction and small discharge sparks in the resistance film in the area close to the slide contact. Moreover, it has been found that the sliding noise would be reduced by increasing the number of contact points, sliding speed, and pressure, and by using some kinds of insulation oil on the contacting surface. High contact resistance variation is likely to occur in the area of high resistance variation in a logrithmic resistance taper.

민생용 전자기기에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 부품중의 하나인 탄소 피막 가변 저항기에서 접동자 이동시 발생하는 접촉 저항 변화의 원인을 분석하여 이에 대한 감소, 즉 접동 잡음 감소를 위한 몇 가지 방법을 착안하여 실험 검토하고 그 결과을 정리하여 본 결과 균일한 크기를 가진 탄소 분말 입자로서 고루게 배합된 저항액을 사용하고 접동자의 접촉점과 압력을 증가하면 접촉 저항 및 접촉 저항 변화. 즉 잠동 잡음을 감소시킬 수 있다.
