KNP3WSJR-73-36R

KNP3WSJR-73-36R is a through hole resistor with three pins, a maximum capacitance rating of 73 ohms and a 36 watt power rating. It is suitable for use in high power applications and systems where precise resistances and temperature control are required. This kind of through hole resistor is designed to perform at high heat with minimal thermal rise and is able to dissipate up to three times more power than equivalent SMT resistors. For increased reliability, this device is highly moisture-resistant and is also resistant to shock and vibration.

The working principle of a through hole resistor is straightforward. A resistance element, such as a strip of metal, is placed in a hole, usually coated with a substance like paint to reduce oxidation. The space around the resistance element is filled with an insulating material to keep the resistance intact. As current is applied to the resistance element, it heats up, causing the resistance to increase. This allows the resistor to regulate the current flowing through it, thus preventing excessive current from entering the system.

KNP3WSJR-73-36R through hole resistors can be used in a wide range of applications, including power supplies, automotive electronics, audio amplifiers, and instrumentation. In particular, it is an ideal choice for high-power circuits, where the resistance needs to remain unchanged, despite large changes in temperature. As a result, it can be used in applications such as high voltage power electronics and radio frequency (RF) circuits. In addition, because of its high reliability, it is also suitable for applications requiring long-term stability and minimal maintenance.

KNP3WSJR-73-36R is available in both surface mount and through hole packages. It is relatively inexpensive compared to other types of resistors, making it suitable for cost-sensitive projects. It is also highly reliable, with an expected lifetime of more than three million hours and a maximum temperature of 200°C. The device also features a low thermal resistance of 36°C/W, making it suitable for systems where temperature control is critical.

In conclusion, KNP3WSJR-73-36R is a reliable through hole resistor with a maximum capacitance rating of 73 ohms and a 36 watt power rating. Its low thermal resistance and high reliability make it suitable for many applications, and its moisture-resistant properties make it more reliable than many other types of resistors. The affordability and reliability of this product make it a good choice for cost-conscious and power-intensive applications.
