41J12RE

Through Hole Resistors

New technologies such as surface mount and chip resistors have enabled the use of resistors in a variety of applications. However, in some cases, the through hole resistor is still the preferred choice. This is especially true if the application requires high power dissipation or if the reliability of an SMD component is not acceptable. The following is an introduction to a through hole resistor from the 41J12RE line and the principle of operation.

Description and Features

The 41J12RE series is a through hole resistor preferred for power dissipation. It comes in 20 values, from 0.1Ω to 10KΩ. It is set into a metal body which also serves as a heatsink. The pins are made of brass and are soldered into the board, providing a reliable electrical connection. The resistor element is a wound, ceramic, wirewound type, and the terminals are plated nickel so they are corrosion resistant.

Application Fields

Due to its reliable construction, the 41J12RE is often used in high-power applications, such as power supplies, motors and other industrial equipment. Its high power dissipation means it can handle the heat generated in these applications, making it more durable and reliable than other available components. The 41J12RE can also be used in audio and bass equipment, amplifiers, and other audio applications. Its power rating of up to 1 watt means it can handle the demands of these applications.

Working Principle

The 41J12RE resistor works in much the same way as any other type of resistor. It reduces the current flowing through a circuit by dissipating it as heat. This is done by converting electrical energy into thermal energy. The resistor creates an electrical resistance, which reduces the current flow and increases the potential difference (voltage) across its terminals. The resistor then dissipates this energy as heat, which is then radiated away from the terminal pins.

Advantages and Limitations

The 41J12RE is a reliable and durable choice for a variety of applications. Its construction makes it resistant to vibration and shock, and its power rating makes it suitable for high-power applications. The 41J12RE can also be used in areas with high temperature and humidity, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial environments. The main limitation of the 41J12RE is its relatively low power rating. If more power is required, other options must be considered.

The 41J12RE through hole resistor offers reliability and durability, making it a good choice for a variety of applications. Its versatile design makes it suitable for a variety of applications, and its power rating means it can handle the demands of many high-power applications. Its construction is resistant to vibration and shock, making it a reliable component.
