Through Hole Resistors

FMP100FTE52-187K application field and working principle

Through Hole Resistors are an essential component in designing electrical equipment. They are resistive components that limit the flow of electricity in a circuit. The FMP100FTE52-187K is a type of through hole resistor, characterized by its low profile and superior heat dissipation. Its application fields range from consumer electronics to industrial control circuits. This article will discuss the working principle and application areas of the FMP100FTE52-187K.

Working Principle

At the heart of all resistors is their resistance value. The FMP100FTE52-187K has a resistance value of 187 kilo-ohms, which is the maximum resistance the component can provide in a circuit. This resistance is achieved by means of electrically conductive layers of metal that are separated by a thin dielectric material (usually a ceramic). When a voltage is applied, electrons flow through the metal layers, creating an opposing force and thus limiting the amount of current that can flow through the circuit.

The FMP100FTE52-187K features a low thermal resistance which ensures better heat dissipation and a longer life span. This is due to a special design that transfers the heat away from the circuit quickly. The component also features leadless construction and ensures a secure fit and easy installation within cramped spaces.

Application Areas

The FMP100FTE52-187K is a versatile component and finds its use in many industries and applications. Its low profile makes it popular in small or confined spaces within consumer electronics such as tablets, laptops, and TVs. In industrial applications, the component is used in a wide range of control circuits, remote sensing, and robotic systems.

The component can also be used in the automotive industry as a part of ignition systems, door locking, and other safety and convenience features. It is also used in LED lighting, power supplies, and audio and video systems.

Conclusion

The FMP100FTE52-187K is a versatile, through hole resistor that is used in a wide range of applications. Its low profile ensures easy installation and robust heat dissipation. Its low resistance values make it ideal for a variety of consumer electronics, industrial automation, and automotive applications.
