CMF55500K00BEEB

Through Hole Resistors

The CMF55500K00BEEB is an axial leaded resistor with a through-hole design, using the metal-film technology. This type of resistor is commonly used in high-volume, low-cost applications.The resistor is designed for through-hole mounting, meaning that its two metal leads are designed to be inserted into two adjacent holes on a circuit board. Compared to surface-mount resistors, which have the leads directly connected to the top and bottom of the component, through-hole resistors offer increased flexibility, allowing the user to adjust the component’s position or orientation as well as the spacing between adjacent components for a better fit and improved performance.

The CMF55500K00BEEB offers excellent accuracy, stability, and repeatability, with tolerances as tight as +/- 10%. Its resistance value ranges from 100 ohms to 5.1M ohms and voltage rating of 200 volts (DC) and 100 volts (AC). The temperature coefficient is rated at ±245 ppm. The resistor has a power rating of 0.25 W at +70°C, and ambient temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. It is UL1412 and RoHS compliant.

The working principle of the CMF55500K00BEEB is based on the fact that when a voltage is applied, electric current will flow through it, which causes a Joule heating effect and causes power to dissipate. The resistor therefore absorbs the electrical energy and converts it into heat, lowering the voltage and current values. The resistance is determined by the materials used: for this case, it is made of metal film, which has a higher precision and stability.

The CMF55500K00BEEB has a wide range of applications, particularly in areas such as power supplies, telecommunications, audiovisual, automotive, and radio frequency systems. It is especially beneficial for those applications that require higher accuracy and repeatability as it has extremely tight tolerance. It can also be used to create reference voltages for systems that need to remain stable and reliable such as in power, telecommunication, and audio/video systems.

In summary, the CMF55500K00BEEB is a through-hole resistor with an excellent tolerance and stability. It has a wide range of applications in various fields where accuracy and repeatability are crucial. Its metal-film technology further contributes to its outstanding performance.
