Through Hole Resistors

A through hole resistor is a type of resistor that has its terminals connected to the resistor body by a hole through the center of the resistor, which, when soldered, will stay in place without additional supports. These types of resistors have been an integral component of electronic circuits since the 1960s and continue to be essential in designing modern circuits. One of the most widely used and reliable through hole resistors is the FMP100FRE52-56K.

FMP100FRE52-56K Application Field and Working Principle

The FMP100FRE52-56K is a linear resistor, meaning that it function to perform a linear, electrical resistance across a range of frequencies. The FMP100FRE52-56K is ideal for dealing with a moderate range of current, up to 22W of power dissipation, and can be used as an audio resistor, phase shifter, filter, or for motor speed control. It is noted for its low temperature coefficient of 0.1%/K, allowing it to provide resistance in environments ranging from -40 to +85 C. Additionally, it boasts an extremely accurate tolerance of only 0.5%, allowing for superior circuit design.

In terms of operation, the FMP100FRE52-56K uses a layer of ceramic which is embedded with metallic particles. The combination of these two creates a resistor with a fixed, known resistance. The ceramic used is usually a barium or strontium titanate, both of which are good candidates for the high temperature stability required in a through-hole resistor. The metallic particles embedded in the ceramic will need to be of the appropriate size for the resistance value desired. This allows resistors produced with this kind of technology to have an extremely tight tolerance.

The use of a through hole resistor offers several advantages over more traditional resistors, such as improved accuracy, higher power handling, and reduced cost. For applications requiring a high degree of accuracy, the FMP100FRE52-56K is most likely the best option. Its ability to handle critical and fast-changing loads make it an ideal choice for many types of audio circuits, as well as for filter networks, motor speed control, and phase shifters.

The FMP100FRE52-56K is also important for applications where space is at a premium. By virtue of its compact size, the FMP100FRE52-56K can be used in place of larger, bulkier components, thus saving valuable board space. Additionally, the FMP100FRE52-56K carries with it a superior long-term reliability rating, meaning it will offer superior performance and longevity no matter what application it is used for.

The FMP100FRE52-56K is an excellent example of a through hole resistor, offering attributes such as a high degree of accuracy, robust power handling, small form factor, and superior reliability. This makes the FMP100FRE52-56K suitable for a wide range of applications where accuracy and long-term reliability are of the highest importance.
