Through Hole Resistors

Through hole resistors, or TO-style resistors, are commonly used in a variety of circuits due to their ability to handle higher voltage applications compared to surface mount resistors. They are available in many resistance values and sizes, making them a great choice for a wide range of applications.

101-500RB Application Field

TO style resistors are used in many automotive and military applications where high voltages, high currents, and extreme temperature ranges are encountered. This wide operating temperature range and stability makes them ideal for engine control and braking systems, and navigation and communication systems. In addition, they are often used for LED lighting, power supplies, and motor control.

Working Principle

The resistor works on the same basic principle as all other resistors: it reduces the amount of current flowing through a circuit by adding resistance. This is accomplished by etching pathways, or tracks, on its surface to reduce the flow of electrons through the resistor. The etching also creates small variations in the properties of the surface material, such as the resistance characteristics, which also affect the flow of current.

For TO style resistors, the resistance of the etching path is determined by the size of the resistor and the shape of the tracks on its surface. Large resistors have fewer tracks, and the tracks are designed in a winding pattern. This reduces the size of each track and increases the resistance of the overall device. The number of resistance values that can be produced with this type of resistor is quite large (typically in the range of 101-500RB).

The use of a TO style resistor is advantageous when very large currents are needed in a circuit. They also provide relatively good temperature stability, which means that the resistance of the device will not greatly change with the slightest change in temperature. This makes them desirable for applications that require high levels of accuracy, such as medical applications.

The main disadvantage of using a TO style resistor is that it has limited power handling capability compared to other types of resistors. The tracks on the surface are quite fragile and can easily be damaged by high voltages. In addition, they are quite large and bulky, making them unsuitable for applications where space is limited.

Conclusion

In conclusion, TO style resistors are often used for applications requiring high voltages, large currents, and relatively high temperature stability. They are available in many resistance values and sizes, allowing them to be used in a wide range of applications. However, they have limited power handling capability, making them unsuitable for applications requiring large amounts of power.
