MICOS electrical components German MICOS models MICOS prices

MICOS electrical components are resistive elements with three terminals, whose resistance can be adjusted according to a specific variation pattern. A potentiometer typically consists of a resistive element and a movable wiper. When the wiper moves along the resistive element, a resistance value or voltage proportional to the displacement is obtained at the output terminal. Potentiometers can be used as three-terminal or two-terminal devices. The latter can be regarded as a variable resistor; since its function in a circuit is to obtain an output voltage related to the input voltage (applied voltage), it is called a potentiometer. A potentiometer is a type of variable resistor.
