ER5815KJT Resistors

Through Hole Resistors

A through-hole resistor is an electronic component that is used to provide resistance to the flow of electrical current. It is a type of resistor constructed with leads or contacts that pass through the component itself. This type of resistor has two leads that are physically attached to the resistor body, whereas a surface-mount resistor typically only has one. It is usually used in applications where the resistance value must be adjustable. In these applications, the leads are commonly connected to the circuit board to provide a connection for adjusting the resistance value.

ER5815KJT Application Field and Working Principle

ER5815KJT through-hole resistors are used for a variety of applications. These include components in electric motors, power supplies, consumer electronics, and more. They are also a popular choice for light-load applications such as resistors for LED or lamp indicators, voltage setting resistors, and signal-conditioning circuits. In these applications, the resistor is used to control the current and/or voltage flowing through the circuit, allowing designers to precisely determine the desired output.

The ER5815KJT works on the principle of electrical resistance. When current flows through the resistor, its resistance limits the flow and converts the flow to heat. This process is known as Ohm\'s Law, which states that the current passing through the resistor is directly proportional to the voltage across it. The amount of resistance is fixed for a given resistor, and is specified by its resistance value or ohmic rating. In addition to controlling the current, resistors can also be used to attenuate a voltage, or to divide the voltage between two points in a circuit.

The ER5815KJT is also designed to be highly reliable. It is constructed with a heat-resistant insulation body, a gold-plated terminal, and a solderable ring. This design ensures that the resistor can handle up to 5A (depending on the size) of continuous current and up to 6A of peak current. It can also be used in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +120°C, and is RoHS compliant.

In summary, the ER5815KJT through-hole resistor is a reliable and accurate component that can be used for a variety of applications. It works on the principle of electrical resistance and is designed to withstand high levels of current and temperature. It is a popular choice for light-load applications, and its gold-plated terminals and solderable rings ensure high levels of reliability.
