MBA02040C1872FCT00 Datasheet/PDFThrough Hole Resistors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the type discussed here is the MBA02040C1872FCT00. This type of through hole resistor is able to handle a wide range of temperature variations, is extremely rugged and used in various applications.
The designation MBA02040C1872FCT00 identifies the series of resistors. This particular series has been designed with a resistance range of 20Ω to 40KΩ and a capacitance range of 0.2pF to 10pF. The resistance value of this resistor is marked on the body, and typically ranges from 10Ω to 199Ω. The FCT package indicates that it is an SMT package, and the 00 denotes that it is an unencapsulated package.
This type of through-hole resistor is typically used as a voltage divider or current limiting device. It is ideal for various industrial and consumer applications, such as automotive and communication systems. It is indispensable for current stabilizing and protection, voltage measuring, circuit protection, power supply design, line filtration and motor drive applications.
The working principle behind this type of through-hole resistor is quite simple. It is a passive electrical device that is able to control the flow of electric current in a circuit. The resistor has two terminals, one connected to the incoming current, the other connected to the outgoing current. As the current passes through the resistor, some of the energy is dissipated, creating a resistance to the flow of the current. The resistance value provides the designer with a way to regulate the flow of the current.
The MBA02040C1872FCT00 through hole resistor is available in a wide variety of configurations. They can be surface-mount with a non-isolated case, or through-hole with an isolated case. It is also available in standard and precision versions, with standard featuring a tolerance range of ±10% and precision featuring a tolerance range of ±0.5%.
In addition to its robust construction, this type of through-hole resistor also has a long life expectancy. Since they dissipate heat, they are capable of operating at higher temperatures than other types of resistors. This makes them perfect for high power applications, such as automotive, industrial and communication systems.
The MBA02040C1872FCT00 through hole resistor is a versatile device that can be used in a variety of applications. Its ability to withstand high temperatures and its long life expectancy make it a very attractive choice for a wide range of applications.
