The rotary electronic component contains a case for accommodating a functional element section, a rotary shaft supported by a bearing for actuating the functional element section, with the upper portion of the shaft upwardly protruding, and a length-adjusting shaft attached to the upper portion of the rotary shaft. The rotary electronic component further contains a fixing member with a linear section extending in a direction axially of the rotary shaft. The linear section is inserted between the rotary shaft and the length-adjusting shaft, whereby a secure connection between the two shafts is obtained.
