Working Principle of CA000268R00KE66

The CA000268R00KE66 through hole resistor works by converting electric energy into heat. This is done by applying a voltage across its terminals. It is the ratio between this voltage and the resulting current of the device that determines the value of resistance.

When the voltage is increased, the current also increases. But for the resistance to remain the same, as per Ohm\'s law, the voltage must be equal to the product of the resistance and the current. The CA000268R00KE66 will remain stable and function properly as long as the amount of current it dissipates does not exceed its rating.
