KNP1WSJT-52-4R7 Resistors

Through Hole Resistors

A through hole resistor is a type of resistor that is primarily used for through hole (TH) mounting on PCBs and is held in place by either solder or an adhesive. Through hole resistors are designed in various sizes, shapes and ratings depending on their application. The most common type is the KNP1WSJT-52-4R7.

Application Field of KNP1WSJT-52-4R7

The KNP1WSJT-52-4R7 is a general purpose resistor that is most commonly used in many projects. It is used for applications such as protecting digital and analog circuits from voltage and current overloads, dampening voltage spikes, and controlling the speed of a motor. This type of through hole resistor can also be used in signal conditioning, DC-DC converters, and switching applications.

Working Principle of KNP1WSJT-52-4R7

The KNP1WSJT-52-4R7 operates by forming an electrical bridge between two points. This bridge is composed of an electrically conductive element which is then surrounded by a ceramic insulator. When electrical current passes through the resistor, its resistance restricts the amount of current that can flow, resulting in a voltage drop. This voltage drop is proportional to the amount of current flowing and is inversely proportional to the amount of resistance.

The KNP1WSJT-52-4R7 Through Hole Resistor is a reliable, robust, and versatile resistor that can be used in a variety of applications. It is cost effective and can be easily replaced if necessary. Due to its popularity and reliability, the KNP1WSJT-52-4R7 Through Hole Resistor is the most widely used type of through hole resistor on the market.
