An electric potentiometer used for conversion of a rotating movement into an electrical value. The potentiometer has a wiper passing across a resistance path and, on the other end, the wiper is rotatingly coupled with a bearing shaft. The resistance path is disposed on a mounting plate next to which is disposed on the intake pipe wall an elongated plug, made of plastic by injection molding, in which are embedded contact prongs, which are connected on the other side in an electrically conducting manner with connecting contacts extending generally perpendicular to the contact prongs.
