Through Hole Resistors

Resistors are one of the most fundamental components of any electrical system, and Through Hole Resistors are one of the most popular kinds of resistors used. The type of resistor indicated by FMF3WSFRF73-3R3 is a through hole resistor, and its applications and working principle can be further explained below.

Application

Through hole resistors, with the prefix of “through hole” meaning that it is through a hole in the printed circuit board (PCB), have a variety of applications in both digital and analog circuits. These resistors employ leads which pass through the PCB and are soldered to the printed board after drilling holes for the leads. This ensures that the resistor is securely held in place with proper connection to the other necessary components.

The most common application of through hole resistors is in providing linear resistance to a signal within a given voltage range. They are most suited for high power operations due to their low cost and wide range of resistance they can support. These resistors are also capable of providing thermal stability over a wide range which makes them suitable for long-term usages. Furthermore, through hole resistors also find application to provide isolation and buffering for signals, such as metallic oxide film resistors.

General through hole resistors are suitable for a wide range of applications, with some specific resistors designed for specific types of usage such as high-frequency operations, high-voltage operations and in switches and signal integration.

Working Principle

The working principle behind through hole resistors is essentially the same for all resistors: To reduce the amount of electric current passing through a given circuit. Through hole resistors operate by channeling the electric current through a material known as a resistance material, which impedes the flow of current thus creating a voltage drop across it. Through hole resistors come in many different varieties, and the resistance material used is determined by the device’s purpose and the desired voltage drop across the device.

The most common resistance material used in through hole resistors is Carbon Film. Carbon Film is a type of carbon-based material which has a high resistance to electrical current. Through hole resistors which use this material have a reliable maximum voltage rating so users are less likely to damage the resistor by running too much current through it. Other resistance materials like metal oxide film and wirewound can also be used in more complex applications.

The other part of the Through Hole Resistors is the ceramic body which the resistor is housed in. This ceramic body contains the resistance material inside and also provides an encasing to protect the resistor from damage during use. The ceramic body will also often be insulated to further protect the resistor from damage due to temperature or voltage spikes.

In conclusion, through hole resistors are used in a wide variety of applications due to their low cost and wide range of resistance they can support. The operation of a through hole resistor is determined by the resistance material it uses, which creates a voltage drop across the device, and the ceramic body it is housed in, which both encases the resistance material and provides insulation. As such, through hole resistors remain the most popular type of resistors used today.
