FMP-50FR-52-56K2

Through Hole Resistors, such as the FMP-50FR-52-56K2, are components that are used to reduce the amount of current flow in a circuit by introducing resistance. They are typically used in applications such as low-voltage audio, power circuits, and high-power motor control, as well as in measurement and detection systems.

The FMP-50FR-52-56K2 is a through-hole resistor with a resistance of 50 ohms, a tolerance of 5% and a wattage of 2 watts. It is constructed with a metal-film element in a small, flame-retardant body. The through-hole design makes it ideal for mounting on printed circuit boards. It is widely used in power supply circuits, motor control circuits and consumer electronics applications.

The working principle of a through-hole resistor is based on Ohm’s Law, which states that the current flowing through a conductor is proportional to the voltage applied across it. The resistance of the component is determined by its physical properties. When voltage is applied across the resistor, some of the current is converted to heat energy, and the amount of current that is diverted depends on the resistance value of the resistor. This is known as voltage division and is key to the operation of the resistor.

The FMP-50FR-52-56K2 is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, due to its small size, high tolerance, and good heat dissipation. It is often used in circuits with high-current loads that require precise voltage regulation. Additionally, its flame-retardant body ensures that it meets safety requirements for many sensitive applications. This makes the FMP-50FR-52-56K2 a reliable and versatile resistor for many different projects.
