Through Hole Resistors

Through hole resistors, also known as axial lead resistors, refer to resistors that have two axial leads extending out of both ends, through terminals, holes and pads on a printed circuit board (PCB). This type of resistor is widely used in electronic circuit design for two reasons – they are inexpensive and available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and value ranges.

The CFM14JT130R is a through hole resistor that is part of the Axial series of resistors from Fanox. It is a 125mW resistor with a voltage rating of 200V and a resistance range of 2Ω to 8.2kΩ. The CFM14JT130R is a metal oxide film resistor (MOF) and is available in three different sizes – 14mm, 18mm and 22mm. The resistor can also be custom ordered in different resistance ranges.

The CFM14JT130R is a popular choice for a wide range of applications because of its low cost and reliable performance. It can be used in automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and various audio/visual applications. The resistor\'s low profile, small size and low cost make it ideal for use in small spaces, low-power environments, and budget-conscious applications.

When it comes to its working principle, through hole resistors work just like any other type of fixed resistor. They are made from materials such as metal oxide films that resist the flow of electrons. When an electric current passes through them, some of the current is absorbed by the resistive material which causes it to increase in temperature. This heat dissipates into the surrounding area and reduces the current output of the circuit. This effect can be exploited to reduce the amount of current drawn from the power source or to drop the voltage in the circuit.

Through hole resistors offer many advantages over their surface mount counterparts. They are easier to handle and manufacturing processes that require automated pick and place machines can be more easily implemented. The wider terminal is also much more robust and makes it more likely that the resistor will remain in place under vibration or jostling. Furthermore, through hole resistors can withstand higher temperatures than their surface mount counterparts, making them ideally suited for applications that require long-term, high-power operation.

In conclusion, the CFM14JT130R through hole resistor is an excellent choice for applications that require low-cost, robust, and reliable performance. With its wide resistance range, high voltage rating and low profile, it is suitable for a variety of automotive, industrial, and audio/visual applications. Furthermore, its operating principle is the same as any other fixed resistor, which makes it easy to understand and use.
