C3A180RJT

Through Hole Resistors

The C3A180RJT is a through hole resistor that is used for a variety of applications. This type of resistor is one of the oldest and simplest circuit elements to build and use, and is by far the most commonly employed type of electronic component. It has a wide range of resistance values and is useful for any type of analog electronic circuit.

Application Field and Working Principle

The C3A180RJT is mainly used in surface mount technology, as well as in through hole technology. It also offers temperature compensation and can be used for high frequency applications. This type of resistor is used in various fields, such as power supply, lighting, electronic measuring instruments, automotive industry and industrial control equipment.

The working principle of the through hole resistor is very simple. It is a piece of metal wire or a carbon rod, which is assembled with a type of electrical connector. When there is a voltage source, current passes through the resistor and the voltage across it is limited to some extent. The amount of current passing through the resistor and the corresponding voltage across it depend upon the size and shape of the resistive device.

The C3A180RJT is able to maintain a consistent resistance regardless of the fluctuations of the voltage source, which makes it ideal for applications that require precise voltage or current readings. It can also provide some protection for the electronics when the circuit is exposed to transients or over/under voltage.

In addition, the through hole of the C3A180RJT provides additional protection against short-term voltage spikes, and it is also capable of dissipating heat from the system. This makes the resistor suitable for high-temperature operating environments, such as in automotive or industrial applications.

The through hole resistor is also considered to be cost effective because of its consistent performance and its ability to operate in volatile temperature or voltage conditions. In addition, its wide range of resistances makes it versatile and useful in many different applications.
