L50J2K0

The chassis mount resistor is an essential component in most electronic device designs. L50J2K0 is a type of chassis mount resistor designed by Vishay that is suitable for both commercial and industrial applications. It is composed of two parts – a resistor and a housing assembly. The housing assembly provides two conductive terminals to secure the resistor in place with screws, eliminating the need to solder. This design allows for easy installation and reliable performance.

Application Field

The L50J2K0 resistor is suitable for applications in battery chargers, adjustable tracking power supplies, automotive power Supplies, smart phone chargers, or any application which requires a precise resistance value with a wide operating temperature range. It is designed as an electrical component for providing power and/or protection in various electronics such as computers, cell phones and even medical devices.

Working Principle

The L50J2K0 works on principles of electrical bridges. It comprises of two nichrome elements – one of which is under control of external magnetic field. This applied magnetic field will produce heat to the nichrome element then heats up the other non-magnetized element, providing electrical resistance between both the elements. This resistance value is monitored with an ohmeter, thus providing a precise resistance value. In adjustable tracking power supplies, the adjustable L50J2K0 can provide the limiter of required current.

Features and Benefits

The L50J2K0 chassis mount resistor offers numerous benefits. It has a flat panel design with two screw mount contacts making it easy to install and replace. It doesn’t require any soldering so it’s also cost effective. The resistor’s temperature range is very wide, making it reliable in both hot and cold environment. It does not require an external controller, making it highly efficient. The power tolerance of the resistor is ±2.5%. Available in three wattage ratings it is also available in a wide range of standard resistance values.

Conclusion

The L50J2K0 chassis mount resistor is an excellent choice for a wide variety of applications, including battery chargers, adjustable tracking power supplies, automotive power supplies, etc. It is easy to install and provides a reliable performance over a wide temperature range. The resistor is also cost effective and has ±2.5% power tolerance. Designed to meet strict industry standards, the L50J2K0 offers a superior design and performance.
