Potentiometer heat dissipation problem

The potentiometer is a commonly used electronic component in the circuit. Regarding the heat dissipation of the potentiometer, I wonder if everyone understands its importance.

When the potentiometer is in use, the heat emitted from the resistor body will cause the temperature rise of the potentiometer itself. The heat must be dissipated through convection, conduction, radiation, etc., among which conduction through the chassis or bottom plate is a very important way to dissipate heat. If the potentiometer is not installed properly, the heat dissipation will be affected. It may even cause the potentiometer to be overheated and damaged. Especially those potentiometers with relatively large power consumption, coupled with the miniaturization and morphology of electronic equipment, earphone direct-slide potentiometers, the temperature inside the machine is serious, and the mouse should pay more attention to heat dissipation. It is often installed on a metal bottom plate with good thermal conductivity to ensure good heat dissipation conditions. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the distribution of other heating elements and devices near the potentiometer. When necessary, careful consideration should be given to providing ventilation and cooling conditions to ensure that the potentiometer can be used safely.
