A voltage follower is incorporated within a molded electrical connector interface of a position sensor in a way that does not detract from the dimensions or the performance of the finished sensor. The incorporation of the voltage follower into the housing of the variable resistor provides several advantages over the prior art, including: an immunity to sag; substantially reduced sensitivity to noisy contactors; and short lead length and low output impedance, both of which result in reduced interference from external source.

An improved position sensor for reliably sensing a position when operated in a harsh environment having a sealed housing, a first resistive element, a movable contactor tap located in said sealed housing for protection from potentially harmful environmental conditions providing a voltage obtained from said first resistive element representative of a position of said contactor tap relative to said first resistive element, and a voltage follower amplifier, said voltage follower amplifier and said first resistive element located in said sealed housing.
