A signal transmitter for a fill level sensor, a conductor path arrangement is printed on a resistor arrangement. The resistor arrangement is located below a slideway and is accessible between conductor path sections for trimming of the resistor. The signal transmitter is of particularly compact configuration and can be produced at low cost.

A resistor pack assembly comprising: a positive rail having a circular face; a negative rail having an inner circular face and an outer circular face located radially outward from inner circular face; an insulator ring having a first circular face and a second circular face opposite first circular face, the second circular face contacts the outer circular face of the negative rail; a first DC bus bar electrically connected to the insulator ring; a second DC bus bar electrically connected to negative rail; and a cylindrical suppression resistor having a first flat surface and a second flat surface opposite the first flat surface, the cylindrical suppression resistor is located radially inward of the insulator and axially between the positive rail and negative rail, wherein the first flat surface contacts the circular face of the positive rail and the second flat surface contacts the inner circular face of the negative rail.

A resistance substrate contains a substrate and a resistance part that is formed on an upper surface of the substrate by printing. The resistance part is formed into an arc shape (a C shape) so that a width of the resistance part continually changes. The resistance part is formed so that a part having a narrow width becomes thick and a part having a narrow width becomes thin.

A rotary variable resistor includes a resistance circuit module, a fixation frame, a brush assembly and a rotor shaft. The resistance circuit module has a circuit board, an output circuit, three input circuits and a resistance ring. The output circuit includes a brush contact port having an annular brush contact area and an output port extending out from the brush contact port. Each input circuit has a resistor contact end and an input port. The three resistor contact ends are evenly annularly separated. The resistance ring co-axially and annularly spaced to the brush contact port contacts the resistor contact ends. The fixation frame is fixedly mounted on the resistance circuit module. The brush assembly rotatably restrained by the fixation frame bridges the annular brush contact area and the resistance ring. The rotor shaft for driving the brush assembly is connected with the brush assembly.
