A variable resistance control is provided wherein a contactor is pinched between a resistance element and a collector. The resistance element and collector lie substantially flatwise thereby providing uniform pressure on the contactor pinched therebetween. The contactor is constrained to rotate upon rotation of a driver rotatably supported in a housing. To minimize cost of the control a portion of the collector is utilized to close the housing. The driver has axially opposed shoulders bearing against the outer faces of the housing and collector to hold the same in place. The housing is formed of a one piece flexible, creep resistant material with integral resilient legs for mounting the control to a panel.
