Chassis Mount Resistors

Chassis-mount resistors are fixed-value electronic components used for controlling and limiting current, dividing voltages, adjusting impedance, and providing protective isolation. They have a wide range of applications in power circuits, heater circuits, protective circuits and other areas. The most popular types of chassis mount resistors are chip resistors, chip inductors, fusible resistors, and thermistors.

The AHA500FB-16R5 is a chassis mount resistor, manufactured by IST Modules. This resistor is a low ohmic value PTC thermistor, with a resistance of 5 ohms. It provides current-limiting protection and precision temperature sensing. It is a low-cost, high-performance solution for a variety of circuit protection and thermal management needs.

Application Field

The AHA500FB-16R5 is most commonly used in HVAC and motor control applications. It is designed to help prevent motor overcurrent issues by providing current limiting protection, and it is also useful for temperature sensing and circuit protection. In HVAC applications, it can be used as an adjustable thermostat with an adjustable range of 0 to 15 ohms. It can also be used in alarm circuits, in conjunction with alarm-triggering devices such as smoke detectors.

The PTC thermistor used in the AHA500FB-16R5 is designed to increase its resistance in proportion to its temperature. This increase in resistance causes a decrease in current flow within the device, which helps to prevent overcurrent issues. This protection is effective over a wide range of ambient temperatures, typically from -40C to +125C.

The AHA500FB-16R5 has a wide range of adjustable resistance ranges, from 0 to 15 ohms. This allows for precise temperature control and circuit protection at a range of temperatures, by adjusting the resistance accordingly. This enables the device to be used in a variety of applications, from temperature sensing to motor protection.

In addition, the device is also designed to provide excellent EMI protection. It has built-in components that are designed to suppress EMI signals, which helps to improve the device’s performance and reliability.

The AHA500FB-16R5 is an excellent choice for a wide variety of circuit protection and temperature sensing applications. Its low cost, high performance and wide range of adjustable ohmic values make it an ideal choice for HVAC and motor control applications.
