FW30A6R80JA

Through Hole Resistors are electronic components categorized by their functionality. The most common type, FW30A6R80JA, is used in a variety of low-power and high-power applications in the electronics industry. It is best suited for circuits where high current and high power deliverability is necessary, such as powering switching power supplies, digital displays and DC/DC converters. Specifically, this type of resistor is a third-generation resistor, capable of power ratings up to 8A, and a temperature rating of 160 degrees Celsius.

The resistors are composed of a sintered metal, typically copper, which is formed into a cylindrical shape. The cylinder is then filled with a dielectric material, such as ceramic, paper or plastic, and further encased in a plastic sleeve. This combination of dielectric and cylindrical shape makes the component resistant to inductive interference and allows it to handle high power demands. Additionally, connectors, such as wires, can be attached to the end of the resistor for easy wiring.

The working principle of a FW30A6R80JA resistor is based on the Ohm’s law which states that the current passing through a given resistance is proportional to the applied voltage. In other words, the current will flow across the resistor with the voltage applied across it. By varying the voltage, more or less current can be drawn by this type of resistor. The resistor is designed to dissipate this amount of energy and thereby reduce the voltage.

The application fields of a FW30A6R80JA resistor include current limiting, voltage regulating, and voltage dividing. Current limiting is when the voltage across the resistor is small and the current it dissipates is limited to a certain value. Voltage regulation is when the resistor is used as a voltage divider to set a voltage across the component at a specific value. Voltage dividing is when a voltage is divided across two or more resistors, resulting in a decrease in the total voltage across the resistors. These resistors are essential components in many circuits, including in switching power supplies, digital displays, and DC/DC converters.

Through Hole resistors such as the FW30A6R80JA are designed to operate in a variety of environments and can handle high power demands. They allow current to flow across the component with an applied voltage, while also allowing for current limiting, voltage regulation, and voltage dividing. With their versatility, they are essential components in many circuits, such as switching power supplies, digital displays, and DC/DC converters.
