Chassis Mount Resistors: L100J25RE Application Field and Working Principle

The L100J25RE is part of the chassis mount resistors manufacturing line, and is a popular passive resistor rated up to 100 Watt. It’s widely used in various applications as a resistive load and has been applied to a wide assortment of industrial as well as consumer-oriented products. Its performance and characteristics will be discussed in the following.

Working Principle

The L100J25RE operates in a voltage-current balance which creates heat that is spread over a large area of the resistor. The heat generated in the resistor decreases with increasing resistance value. The resistor is made by winding metal resistive wires or forming a resistive film on a cylindrical core, and these are then encapsulated in a thermostable material such as epoxy to prevent oxidation.

Since the load generated by the resistor will vary based on the current, the heater must be designed to handle the specified maximum current. The L100J25RE can handle up to 100 Watts of power, and thus can be used in high-power applications such as electric motors and appliances with large current requirements. The high power rating also increases the resistor\'s life expectancy, making it a reliable choice for long-term applications.

Application Fields

The L100J25RE is primarily used for overload protection, regulating voltage, voltage regulation, current limiting, and control of current in electric circuits. In addition, the resistor is also used in power supplies, motors, and other high-power applications. The resistor is also widely used in industrial equipment such as radio and navigation devices, as well as in consumer electronics including televisions, computers, and home entertainment systems.

The L100J25RE offers many advantages in terms of its performance, reliability, and cost savings. Since the resistor has a voltage regulation capability, it pays for itself in time savings by preventing the risk of overvoltage. The resistor\'s high wattage rating also adds to its durability and increases its life expectancy.

The L100J25RE is a versatile solution for a variety of applications, offering long-term reliability at a reasonable cost. It can be used in both industrial and consumer applications and is suitable for high-power, voltage regulation, and overload protection applications.
