General Introduction of 20J270

The 20J270 model of through hole resistors is a through-hole component that comprises a series of resistive elements. It is widely used in consumer, commercial, industrial and military applications, and is available in various shapes and sizes. It comes in standard SMD types or LED through-hole packages. This resistor is rated at a maximum resistance range of 270 ohms, with a maximum operating temperature of 125 °C and relative humidity of 85%.

Application Field of 20J270

As mentioned, the 20J270 is a popular choice of resistor in a variety of circuit applications. It is used for DC blocking, signal filtering, current sensing, temperature compensation and signal level shifting. In addition, it is often used as a voltage divider for precise control of supply levels and for power supply management.

The 20J270 is also a great option for self-inductance applications. Its high rated wattage ensures a reliable source of power, while the large amount of windings allow for greater inductance. The overall design of the component also promotes robustness and longevity.

The 20J270 can also be used for small signal amplification. Its wide resistance range makes it suitable for high-impedance amplifiers, while its low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) makes it particularly suitable for audio applications.

Working Principle of 20J270

The 20J270 through hole resistor works by passing current through a resistive element. The resistance of the component is determined by the number of resistive elements it contains, its size and the material it is made from.

The component has two leads – one positive and one negative. When current passes through the resistor, its resistance converts some of the current to heat, while the rest is passed on. This is why resistors generate heat when in use.

The 20J270 through hole resistor is also temperature compensated, as the resistance value of the component may change when exposed to temperature variations. The resistance meter in the component helps to keep the overall resistance range within the required limits, making it suitable for temperature sensitive applications.

Conclusion

The 20J270 through hole resistor is a versatile and reliable choice of resistors for many different electronic applications. Its wide resistance range and temperature compensation make it suitable for a variety of applications, while its robust construction and high wattage capability ensure long-term reliability.
