The present invention is directed to a potentiometer having enhanced reliability and durability, capable of being unlimitedly used in a high-temperature environment inside a flying object (air vehicle). Said potentiometer comprises: a consecutive type potentiometer having a structure that a resistor is formed of a material having an excellent stability in a high-temperature environment, and having an excellent surface hardness so as to have a high resistance to damages; and a discrete type potentiometer having a structure that a resistor is protected by a passivation layer, and through holes are formed at the passivation layer for electrical connection with the outside, and the through holes are filled with a conductive material.
