FCR3WSJT-73-15R

Through Hole Resistors

The FCR3WSJT-73-15R is a through-hole resistor, which is a type of resistor that is inserted into a hole on a printed circuit board. This type of resistor has been a staple in electronics and electrical engineering for many years, and it is still widely used today. To understand what the FCR3WSJT-73-15R application field and working principle are, it is important to know what defines a through-hole resistor.

A through-hole resistor is a component that is inserted into a hole in a PCB and then soldered in place. The reason this type of resistor is called "through-hole" is that it requires a hole to pass through the board to make the connection. This type of resistor is also known as a "fixed resistor" because its resistance is not adjustable. Once the resistors resistance is determined, the size of the hole drilled is determined to a certain extent.

FCR3WSJT-73-15R Application Field

The FCR3WSJT-73-15R is an industrial grade, high accuracy through-hole resistor that is often used in power supplies and other power circuitry. It can also be used as a voltage-divider for dividing down voltage levels in an electronic circuit. For example, it can be used to divide 220 VAC to 11 VDC for motor controls and sensors. This type of resistor is also suitable for use in high-power applications such as electric motors, where its rated power of 15 W makes it an ideal choice.

FCR3WSJT-73-15R Working Principle

The working principle of the FCR3WSJT-73-15R is quite simple. It operates according to Ohm\'s Law, which states that the current flowing between two points is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points, when the temperature and other external conditions remain constant. In other words, the more voltage you apply across the resistor, the more current will flow through it. This is how the FCR3WSJT-73-15R can divide a voltage level down to a lower level, by limiting the amount of current flowing through the circuit.

The FCR3WSJT-73-15R is a high-performance through-hole resistor that is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its 15 W rating make it suitable for high-power applications, while its accuracy makes it a good choice for controlling current in sensitive electronic circuits. This makes the FCR3WSJT-73-15R a versatile component that is capable of handling a wide range of tasks.
