Through hole resistors are electrical components used to reduce single-load currents in electrical circuits. The most common type of through hole resistor is a two-wire resistor soldered into a printed circuit board, but many other types of through hole resistors are available, including three-wire resistors, surface mount (SMT) and monolithic through hole resistors.

CMF603M0100FKR6 Application Field and Working Principle

The CMF603M0100FKR6 is a through hole resistor with a three-wire construction. The resistive element of this resistor is composed of a core made of ferrite or ceramic material, with the resistor\'s two terminals connected to the core by two steel leads. The two leads are then embedded in a heat-shrinkable plastic housing for protection during shipping and handling.

The CMF603M0100FKR6 is a common type of resistor used in both industrial and consumer electronics, such as resistors used for power regulation in cell phone chargers and portable audio devices. It is also commonly used in automotive and other high power applications such as solar panel systems.

The CMF603M0100FKR6 resistor works by controlling the flow of current in a circuit. Its resistive properties reduce the amount of current flowing through a given circuit. The resistor’s value is determined by the size and number of turns of wire around the core—the more turns, the higher the resistance. This resistance can be fine-tuned by adjusting the number of turns of wire. The resistance can also be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the temperature of the core, allowing for very precise adjustment of the circuit.

The CMF603M0100FKR6 is a relatively robust resistor, capable of operating in extreme temperatures ranging from -55 to +125 degrees Celsius. This makes it ideal for high-temperature or extreme environment applications, such as conditions caused by welding, high loading, or solder reflow. It has a high power rating up to 1kW and is able to dissipate very large amounts of power.
