41F220E

Through Hole Resistors (THRs) are resistors that are mounted directly onto a circuit board through holes in the body of the resistor. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and their main function is to reduce the voltage or power consumption of a circuit. 41F220E, one type THR, is no exception. It provides a cost-effective way to regulate power in a variety of applications.

41F220E is a through hole resistor with a power rating of 220V and a resistance value of 400 ohms. It is typically used in AC and DC applications such as lighting and heating circuits. Its body size is 12.7mm x 10mm. It is constructed of an aluminium oxide ceramic substrate with a welded terminal and an integrally moulded axial lead. The leads are made of nickel-plated copper and are adjustable from 15mm to 22.5mm in length.

In AC applications, the 41F220E provides a cost-effective way to regulate power to a variety of components. Unlike linear resistors, the 41F220E does not dissipate heat when activated, which makes it an ideal choice for AC circuits. Additionally, its adjustable leads make it easy to mount on PCBs and in tight spaces.

In DC applications, the 41F220E is typically used in power supply circuits where a low resistance value is needed in order to properly regulate the voltage. It is also used in automotive electricals, such as dashboard and interior lights which often need to be powered at a low current. In addition, the resistor can be used in solar energy components, such as photovoltaic cells.

The working principle of 41F220E is simple. When voltage is applied to the terminals, the resistor creates an opposing voltage across its terminals. This opposing voltage creates a current flow through the resistor, and the amount of current depends on the value of the resistor. In other words, the higher the resistance value, the less current will flow through the resistor and vice versa. This current flow helps to regulate the power consumption in the circuit.

In conclusion, the 41F220E through hole resistor is a cost-effective and efficient option for a variety of applications. It is particularly suitable for AC and DC circuits, as well as automotive electricals and solar energy components. With its adjustable leads and low resistance value, it provides an excellent way to regulate power consumption in a variety of circuits.
