Abstract
A miniature variable resistor assembly, preferably for use in a hearing aid, includes an insulating base having a terminal element molded within the base. One end portion of the terminal element extends outwardly from the insulating base and another portion of the terminal element is configured in a loop extending from the base. The loop has two spaced-apart portions. A plate of insulating material includes a resistance element and an aperture adjacent the resistance element with the loop extending through the aperture and each spaced-apart portion being distorted against the wall of the aperture and into conductive engagement with the resistance element.
