Through Hole Resistors

A through hole resistor, as its name suggests, is a type of electronic component that utilizes holes in the design to mount the component onto the circuit board. This type of electronic component is typically used to limit the amount of current flowing through a circuit due to its excellent insulation properties. The CF18JA8R20 is a specific type of through hole resistor and is one of the most popular choices for resistors in all sorts of electronic circuits.

CF18JA8R20 Description and Application Field

The CF18JA8R20 resistor is a high-performance resistive component designed to effectively manage heat and power dissipation while simultaneously providing a reliable and consistent level of electrical resistance. It features a double-layer construction providing the advantage of enhanced heat and power dissipation capabilities while also promoting minimal power loss within the circuit. The resistor also has an excellent low temperature coefficient providing better accuracy for higher temperature applications.

Due to its extremely high-performance characteristics, the CF18JA8R20 is extremely popular and widely used in many industries such as automotive, defense, industrial, medical, and aerospace, among others. It is used primarily in most applications where electrical resistance is needed, due to its resistance values and power ratings.

CF18JA8R20 Working Principle

A through hole resistor works by allowing electrons to move through a resistance material, as opposed to a traditional resistance material. The electrons try to move through the material only to find that it is too difficult and are blocked until the applied voltage is high enough to overcome the material’s resistance. The resistance applied by the material is determined by the exact material used and its respective geometric dimensions.

The CF18JA8R20 is specifically a through hole type of resistor due to its double-layer construction. The two layers are composed of a top and bottom layer of metal with the resistor material sandwiched in between them. The resistor material is made of a special kind of material which impedes electrons from flowing through it and, in turn, establishes a desired resistance across the resistor. The top and bottom metal layers are there to provide the fixing points of the resistor to the PCB, firmly securing it in place.

Conclusion

The CF18JA8R20 is a high-performance through hole resistor, popularly used in many industries due to its reliable and consistent level of electrical resistance and its enhanced heat and power dissipation capabilities. Its double-layer construction of metal with the resistor material sandwiched in between helps to provide a firm fix to the PCB and allows electrons to move through the resistor material, with resistance established by the material used and its geometric dimensions.
