Abstract

A rotary electric component such as a semifixed variable resistor comprises an insulating substrate having a shaft hole, a resistor mounted on the insulating substrate surrounding the shaft hole, a pair of electrodes mounted on the insulating substrate and connected to the resistor at ends thereof, a pair of terminals mounted on the insulating substrate and connected to the electrodes, respectively, a shaft rotatably mounted in the shaft hole and having a movable contact held in sliding contact with the resistor, a cover mounted on the shaft over the insulating substrate and covering the movable contact, the cover having a skirt spaced from the insulating substrate by a gap, and a body of synthetic resin mounted on the insulating substrate and a portion formed as a dust wall covering the gap.
