Through Hole Resistors

Through hole resistors are one of the most common types of resistors used today. They are typically composed of two metal plates in a cylindrical shape, separated by an insulating material such as ceramic or plastic. A lead is attached to each end of the resistor to provide connection to the circuit. They are available in a variety of resistance values ranging from fractional ohms to mega-ohms.

FMP200FBE52-511R Application Field

The FMP200FBE52-511R is a surface mount through-hole resistor from Vishay Semiconductor, with a power rating of 0.75W. It offers accurate performance over wide temperature ranges and is optimized for high power and pulse loading. This makes it ideal for applications where space and weight are limited, while accurate thermal resistance is required.

It can be used in automotive, industrial, medical equipment, defense, and other HiRel applications, as well as in consumer electronics, such as audio/video equipment, home appliances, and computer components. These resistors offer an alternative to through-hole metal oxide film and wirewound resistors, providing a robust package that can withstand mechanical shock, vibration, and temperature variations.

FMP200FBE52-511R Working Principle

The FMP200FBE52-511R works by dissipating excess current as heat, providing current control and limiting voltage when too high. This is done by combining a metal and dielectric material, wherein the metal carries the current, while the dielectric material offers resistance to the current, thus creating an electrical potential. This potential then produces a magnetic field that can be measured in volts.

The heat generated by the resistor affects the accuracy of the readings and must be taken into consideration when selecting a specific application. Heat is dissipated through the substrate material, which helps to establish the wattage range for the device. This wattage range should not be exceeded as it could cause the resistor to overheat and fail. Increasing the physical size of the resistor may also increase its heat dissipation capability.

In addition to these basic principles, other factors such as mounting techniques and board orientation should be considered to ensure the best possible performance from a through-hole resistor. Proper mounting of the component will minimize the effects of heat and mechanical stress, while ensuring a reliable electrical connection. The board orientation should also ensure that any heat generated is efficiently dissipated, preventing it from affecting other components. Additionally, proper PCB layout should be considered to prevent any interference from other components.

The FMP200FBE52-511R is an ideal choice for both commercial and industrial applications, offering reliable performance and precise control. Its small size and low power requirement make it ideal for use in space- and weight-limited applications. Furthermore, its robust package ensures it can withstand mechanical, thermal, and environmental demands.
