Working Principle

Traditional through hole resistors, such as the H497K6BCA, operate with a basic working principle. They consist of carbon or metal film formed on a ceramic body and have two electrical contacts, which have a variable resistance. The current flow is proportional to the voltage applied to each contact, so the amount of resistance is determined by the amount of voltage. The contacts are separated by a voltage divider from which the resistance value can be determined. The rectifier has a constant voltage applied to it, which is then divided among the two contacts. Depending on the amount of voltage applied, the resistance will be either increased or decreased.
