41F200E

Through Hole Resistors - 41F200E application field and working principle

The 41F200E resistor, DIP designed and manufactured by Mark Electronics, is a through-hole resistor with extended wattage solid composition and power rating. It is composed of a carbon composition material which features a wide range of resistance values, high stability and low noise levels. With a resistance range up to 55K ohms, the 41F200E is a popular choice for many applications such as audio, automotive, industrial, military and telecom industries.

Application field

In the automotive industry, the 41F200E is used for the power control of motor and lighting systems, as well as for the protection of systems against damages due to short circuits. It is also applied to the design and building of linear tachometers, and low frequency noise reduction in automotive electrical systems. In industrial environments, it is used as a damping element for the relative protection of inverters, variable speed drives, and to reduce the electrical noise in power electronics.

Working Principle

The 41F200E is a four-terminal component, each terminal being informed by a sectional view incorporating two plate-like portions separated by a sectional cone-shaped material. This combination of two plate-like portions together with cone-shaped material is referred to as ‘contacts’. All materials used in the construction of the 41F200E are of high quality and provide the resistance of the resistor a high degree of stability over a wide temperature range and excellent tolerance.

The resistance of the 41F200E is generated by passing an electric current through the contacts and the wiring. The current passing through the contacts causes a voltage drop, and this voltage drop combined with the current leads to the formation of an electromagnetic field and a resultant resistance. The current through the conductors and contacts of the 41F200E depends on the magnitude of the voltage applied to the terminals.

Ultimately, the 41F200E works by generating electrical resistance to limit or control current in any application it is applied to. It is capable of generating this resistance by the use of different materials and layouts, this allows for a range of different resistances to be obtained when required.

Advantages of the 41F200E

The 41F200E is a highly reliable and cost effective solution for many applications. It is able to provide a wide range of resistances to choose from, which allows for precise control of the current in many applications. Its robust construction makes it ideal for usage in harsh conditions, such as vibration and temperature changes. Furthermore, its high-precision tolerance makes sure that the resistor always maintains its desired resistance level, and its extended power rating makes it viable for many high power applications.
