Through Hole Resistors

The FMP200JR-52-18R is an axial-leaded single-in-line (SIL) resistor. This type of resistor is a two-terminal device used to resist a flow of electrical current or voltage drop. Its primary purpose is to provide electrical resistance in a circuit. The value of this resistor, commonly referred to as resistance, is measured in ohms. Through-hole resistors are some of the most common resistors used in electrical and electronic devices.

Application Field

The FMP200JR-52-18R is usually used in various electronic and electrical applications due to its wide range of resistance values from 1/8 watt to 1 watt. These resistors are often employed in low-power circuitry applications where size is not a major factor. They usually find application in areas such as digital and analog circuitry, radio-frequency applications, signal conditioning, and test and measurement. Other uses include motion control apparatus, process control instrumentations, power supplies and battery powered systems.

Working Principle

The FMP200JR-52-18R is constructed with a fixed resistor body and two conducting leads made of metal or some other conducting material. The current flowing through the component creates an electrical field between the two active areas; namely, the resistor element and the two leads. Fixed resistors are essentially passive components, which, just by their nature, dissipate energy. This is typically used to make electrical currents and voltages decrease or increase.

The resistor element is essentially a piece of wire wound into uniform coils and placed between two electrodes. The number of coils, the type of material used to make them, and the amount of resistance of the wire determines the value of the resistor. By combining resistors in series and/or parallel configurations, large resistive networks can be created.

The most common element used for these resistors is a carbon based composite, but other materials such as metal, ceramic, and plastic are also common. The majority of through hole resistors are color coded to represent their value. Manufacturers typically mark the resistor body with a color code band, to indicate its value, tolerance, or number of zeroes.

Conclusion

The FMP200JR-52-18R is a versatile through-hole resistor used in a wide range of electronic and electrical applications. It is constructed with a fixed resistor body and two conducting leads made of metal or some other conducting material. The current flowing through the resistor creates an electrical field between the two active areas; namely, the resistor element and the two leads. This type of resistor is an excellent choice for low-power circuitry applications when size is not a major factor, providing a variable and effective method of controlling electrical currents and voltages.
