Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for potentiometer, unspecified. The reference product is potentiometer, unspecified. This is an electric component usually soldered to a printed wiring board (PWB) in electronic circuits. A potentiometer is a variable resistor. It usually is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding contact in the centre. If all three terminals are used, it can act as a voltage divider. Potentiometers are usually used to control the level of analog signals such as for volume control in audio equipment. For this product it is assumed that a typical potentiometer in electronic module has an average weight of 6.1 g. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary market activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/4258/documentation.
