Through Hole Resistors

Resistors are the most basic and essential components used in electronic circuits. Through hole resistors are the most common type, and are basically composed of two terminals connected by a resistor element (a small piece of resistive material).

Through hole resistors are connected to the circuit board by passing the leads of the resistor through the holes of the PCB. While this form of connection is time consuming, it also has a major advantage of increasing the contact between the resistor leads and the PCB, providing greater reliability for heavy currents.

One example of a through hole resistor is the CMF55165K00BEEB. This resistor is a four-digit type with a resistance tolerance of ± 0.02 ohms. It is a relatively low power resistor, with a maximum working power of 1W. This resistor is intended for high frequency applications, such as mobile communications, where greater reliability and repeatability are paramount.

The construction of the CMF55165K00BEEB is made up of a resistor element comprised of high resistance metal oxide film and a ceramic inner core. The leads and the whole structure are sealed in epoxy resin, to make it more resistant to moisture and heat. It also features a self-extinguishing flammability rated UL94V-0

The working principle of the CMF55165K00BEEB is simple. When a voltage is applied to the two leads of the resistor, the current flowing through it is proportional to the voltage (Ohm\'s Law). This is determined by the resistance value of the resistor. In this way, this resistor can be used to limit, adjust or measure the current in a circuit.

The applications of this resistor are mainly focusing on controlling, limiting, and measuring electric current in electronic circuits. It can also be used in a wide range of industrial applications, such as medical equipment, automotive electronics, incubators, aerospace, and renewable energy.

In conclusion, the CMF55165K00BEEB through hole resistor is an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial applications, due to its high reliability, accuracy, and repeatability.
