41J120

The 41J120 Through Hole Resistors are devices that are designed to reduce or restrict an electrical current. These components are primarily used in electronic circuits to limit the current or voltage in a circuit or to provide a precise voltage drop that creates polarization voltage. Designed for applications in the power industry, bulb-type through hole resistors feature a variety of mounting styles and size options.

Working Principle

The basic principle behind a through hole resistor is that the resistance of a substance impeded the flow of electrical current. In an electric circuit, the addition of a resistor creates a drop in voltage across the resistor, allowing the current to be slowed and regulated. The amount of resistance produced by the resistor is measured in Ohms. In a through hole resistor, the resistance component consists of semiconductors or else a carbon material which is encased in an insulating ceramic coating.

Characteristics

Through hole resistors have many characteristics associated with them. The resistance component used determines a variety of characteristics, such as temperature coefficient, tolerance and maximum voltage. It is important to bear in mind the maximum voltage of a resistor when designing a circuit, as exceeding the limits may cause the resistor to fail. Some resistors can handle higher voltages and power levels than others, while many types of through hole resistors are designed specifically for a limited series of components, as well as providing a precise electric signal loss.

Applications

The 41J120 Through Hole Resistors are applicated in a wide range of industrial controls, automotive systems, electronic test equipment, radio and television transmissions, medical devices and communication equipment. From a technical standpoint, resistors are one of the most important components of circuits, as they determine the flow and amplitude of electric current, allowing accurate and independent control of a circuit’s state.

Conclusion

The 41J120 Throughhole Resistors are a highly reliable and cost-effective solution for electronic circuits which require current or voltage limitation. As well as offering high precision and showing good performance in long term use, these resistors can be a great complement to any electronic system or appliance.
