CW010900R0JE12

Through Hole Resistors generally refer to resistors with an encased complete body structure. They usually consist of a coil of wire which, when current passes through it, will produce heat and thus provide resistance to the current. These resistors are often used to limit the flows of currents in an electronic or electrical circuit, as well as to provide a resistance measure to measure current. One such example of Through Hole Resistors is the CW010900R0JE12.

Application Field for the CW010900R0JE12

The CW010900R0JE12 resistor is generally used in low-voltage, low-current application circuits. This kind of resistor can be primarily found in radio, television, and consumer electronics. Additionally, it is also widely used in motors and power supply units for circuit protection and precision current sensing.

Working Principle of the CW010900R0JE12

The mechanism behind how the CW010900R0JE12 functions can be essentially broken down into two parts. First, the resistance is created by winding strips of metal (often copper) around a ceramic core. Current then passes through the wire strands, which causes some of the current to heat up and be dissipated as heat. As this occurs, there is a decrease in current flow, and the circuit is therefore able to maintain “steady state” operation with no danger of current overload.

The second part of the working principle is that the encasing material helps to reduce the risk of short circuiting of the resistor, as well as containing the heat produced by the current as it passes through. The material used is generally an epoxy, paint, or other polymer which is resistant to thermal and electrical shock, preventing any “breaking” of the circuit when too much current is present.

The CW010900R0JE12 Through Hole Resistor, then, is one of the most basic and essential components for anyone working with low-voltage, low-current electronic circuits. Its ability to limit the current flow of the circuit, as well as the encasing material’s ability to prevent short circuits, make it an excellent component for any kind of electrical circuit.
