L175J30K

Chassis Mount Resistors

The L175J30K chassis mount resistor is one of many types of resistor components used in electrical circuits and switching systems. It is a type of non-inductive, non-linear resistive device, designed to protect against voltage surges and to act as a smoothing out instrument to steady electricity flowing through a system. The L175J30K comes in a variety of packages, making it suitable for a range of applications.

Application Field

The L175J30K chassis mount resistor is primarily used in motor drives, power supplies, motors and other switchgear. It also finds applications in navigation electronics, medical devices, automotive components and emergency lighting. Applications will differ depending on the specific L175J30K package used; for instance, some packages are designed to be mounted from the top of the PCB board into the chassis, while others are designed to be soldered to the board from the bottom. As such, the uses of the L175J30K and its packages vary depending on the needs of the user.

Working Principle

At a basic level, the L175J30K works similarly to all other non-inductive resistors. It works by limiting the current flow through the circuit, providing a constricted path for the electricity to flow out of the system. In the chassis mount variety of L175J30K, the resistor is mounted to the top or bottom of the PCB board, depending on the specific package. The resistor’s placement allows the heat generated by the electricity to dissipate, allowing for better reliability in cases of higher current. In addition to limiting current, the L175J30K can also provide additional stablization to the circuit by helping to smooth out fluctations in the supply voltage.

Conclusion

The L175J30K is a versatile chassis mount resistor, with various applications across many industries. Its various packages make it suitable for a broad range of applications, from medical devices to industrial switchgear. They work by providing a constricted path for electricity to pass through, as well as providing a smooth surface for heat dissipation. Powerful and reliable, the L175J30K makes for an ideal component choice for a large variety of circuits and switching systems.
