What is the difference between a ganged potentiometer an an ordinary potentiometer?

A ganged potentiometer is two or more piggy-backed together that share a common shaft. Turn the shaft and you turn all the pots at the same time. Commonly used to adjust the volume or tone for both channels of a stereo amplifier at the same time. An ordinary pot has just one to a shaft!

∙ 15y agoA ganged potentiometer is two or more variable resistors of the same or sometimes different value, ganged together on one adjusting shaft, normally used on stereo systems as a volume control so that one can vary the volume of both channels at the same time. They are commercially available with from two to four sections. Clarostat used to make a ganged stackable system where you could add as many sections as you wanted. I'm not sure if it's available anymore. Ganged pots are also used for tone controls, pan controls, as well as in power supplies and other electronic lab equipment.

What is a triple-deck Potentiometer?
Hi, A triple deck potentiometer is just another configuration of a standard potentiometer. In this situation, it has three potentiometers stacked together on a single control shaft. There can be many different configurations with the most common being the single and double deck, but I've seen as many as six potentiometers stacked together. Then on top of it, switches can be added if needed. Hope this helps, Cubby It is a three ganged variable resistor
What is function of strobe in LM 311 IC?
The strobe pin on the LM311 is used to disable the output, so that multiple 311's can be ganged together, with only one being turned on at a time. It is also used to adjust the balance of the device.
What is full wave rectifire?
The full wave rectifier is a means of converting alternating current (ac) into direct current (dc). It is done with either the use of 2 diodes coming off a center tapped transformer, or by using a bridge rectifier, which conists of 4 diodes ganged together in a certain configuration. As it's name implies, it converts both the positive going and the negative going parts of the sign wave into useable dc, and therefore is more efficient than a half wave rectifier, which only converts 1/2 of the complete sign wave into useable dc.
