CMF55R68100FLEA

Through Hole Resistors are electronic components used to provide a known resistance to an electrical circuit. The CMF55R68100FLEA is an example of such a component. This Through Hole Resistor is a surface mount device (SMD) with a resistance of 100 Ohms. This resistor is ideal for applications where a low profile is needed, such as in high-density circuits.

The CMF55R68100FLEA is a very small component measuring only 3.5mm x 2mm. Instead of a typical wire lead, the package is composed of a metal-ceramic assembly with through-hole mounting. This mounting method allows for the resistor to be mounted on a surface without the need for soldering or other attachment methods. The resistor also has a solderable terminations, allowing for a stronger physical connection to the circuit.

The CMF55R68100FLEA operates in the temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, and is derated in power when operating at higher temperatures. At low currents, the resistor can have a power rating of up to 0.1 watts. At higher currents, the power dissipation can drop as low as 0.05 watts, due to the thermal limitations of the component.

The CMF55R68100FLEA has a wide range of possible applications. This resistor is ideal for use in high-density circuits where a low profile is needed. It can be used in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. It can be used in circuits that require a precise resistance, such as in digital signal processing and power management systems. The resistor is also suitable for use in portable electronic devices, where its small size makes it ideal.

The working principle of the CMF55R68100FLEA is relatively simple. It works by using the resistance of the metal-ceramic assembly to reduce the current that passes through the resistor. This resistance is regulated through a combination of the metal-ceramic layers and the solderable terminations. The resistor works by converting the energy of the electric current into heat, which is dissipated in the ambient air.

In conclusion, the CMF55R68100FLEA is a type of Through Hole Resistor that can be used in high-density circuits where a low profile is needed. It operates between -55°C to +150°C and can handle up to 0.1 watts of power. The working principle of the resistor is relatively simple, using its resistance to reduce the amount of current passing through it.
