CMF652M3400FKR6

Through Hole Resistors

The CMF652M3400FKR6 is a through hole resistor, a passive two-terminal electrical component that provides a specific resistance value within a circuit. Through hole resistors are typically chosen when the application needs a high power rating, usually more than 500 watts, that can\'t be achieved using a surface mount resistor. These resistors typically have high working temperatures, up to 221°F, making them well-suited for high-humidity and harsh environment applications.

One of the defining features of the CMF652M3400FKR6 is its size to power ratio. This resistor is incredibly small, measuring 0.85” in length, while being able to handle up to 152 watts of power. The tolerance of this resistor is ±0.1% – one of the highest in its class. It also offers a wide operating temperature range, from -55°C to +125°C.

Application Field

The CMF652M3400FKR6 is well-suited for applications requiring high-power rating and reliable performance. Examples include motor control, power conversion, adjustable speed drives, and other demanding applications. The CMF652M3400FKR6 is also suitable for high temperature and moisture environments like those found in industrial, HVAC, automotive, or instrumentation applications.

Working Principle

The CMF652M3400FKR6 works on the same principle as any other through hole resistor: electricity flows through its metallic core, causing the material to become heated. This heat is dissipated as the electricity moves along the resistor, creating resistance. The resistance of the CMF652M3400FKR6 is determined by its length and core material. By adjusting the length and core material, the resistor\'s resistance can be precisely adjusted to match the specific needs of the application.

The CMF652M3400FKR6 also features a unique design that allows for faster and more reliable heat dissipation, allowing the resistor to operate at higher power levels for longer periods of time. This design also helps protect the resistor from damage in high voltage environments, further ensuring reliable performance.

The CMF652M3400FKR6 is an easy-to-install component, making it the ideal choice for any application requiring high power ratings and reliable performance in a variety of environments.
