KNP100JT-73-4R7

Through Hole Resistors are electronic components which are used to control current and voltage in circuits. The KNP100JT-73-4R7 is an example of one of these devices. This type of resistor is characterized by its large size, and long leads that protrude from its body, which allow it to be easily mounted to a printed circuit board.

The KNP100JT-73-4R7 is a cylindrical-shaped resistor with a coarse, powdery coating on its outer surface. The coating on the surface of the device consists of thermoplastic insulation, which helps to protect it from excessive heat that may be generated during circuit operation. The body of the resistor is composed of a ceramic core, which houses two layers of metal foils, which are connected by two metal pins.

The resistive value of the KNP100JT-73-4R7 is determined by the number of metal foils that are used in its construction. The value of the device is fixed and non-adjustable. It is usually rated at 100 Ohms, but is also available in other values such as 50, 75, and 150 Ohms. The device is also quasi-hermetic, meaning that it is protected from dust, moisture, and airborne contaminants.

The working principle of the KNP100JT-73-4R7 is based on electrical resistance. Electrical resistance is defined as the opposition to the flow of electric current as it passes through a material or element. When a voltage is applied to the resistor, the electrical current is limited by the amount of resistance, thereby controlling the voltage and current in the surrounding circuit.

The KNP100JT-73-4R7 has a wide range of applications in the electronics industry. It can be used in many types of circuits to control current or voltage, such as audio amplifiers, video amplifiers, switching power supplies, dc-dc converters, and pulse width modulated circuits. The device can also be used in temperature control systems, and to protect against surges or overdraws in the system.

In conclusion, the KNP100JT-73-4R7 is a Through Hole Resistor used to limit current and voltage in circuits. Its body is composed of a ceramic core and thermoplastic insulation, while its value is fixed and non-adjustable. The device has a wide range of applications in both digital and analog circuits for controlling current and voltage.
