Through Hole Resistors

A through hole resistor is an electronic device used to provide a desired amount of electrical resistance in a circuit. These resistors are typically used to limit current, or to simply change the voltage levels within a circuit. The most common type of through hole resistor is the cylindrical, metal-embedded, surface-mount device, or SMD resistor. The other type of through hole resistor is the axial-lead resistor, which is a rectangular or round component with two axial leads. These leads are arranged such that one lead is connected to the resistor\'s cathode, or ‘car’, and the other lead is connected to the resistor\'s anode, or ‘can’.

The MBA02040C6202FCT00 is a through-hole resistor manufactured by Vishay. It is a surface mount resistor that is designed to provide an electrical resistance of 0.2 ohms with a power rating of 2 Watts. The resistor can also dissipate up to 6 watts of power when operating at elevated temperatures. The resistance can be adjusted between 0.15 and 0.25 ohms using its adjustable shaft and screw. This resistor is offered in the E-24 and E-5 thousandths tolerance categories.

Application Field and Working Principle

The MBA02040C6202FCT00 is widely used in various commercial, military, and NASA applications. It can be used in avionics and instrumentation applications to provide a reliable and adjustable electrical resistance in a circuit. The MBA02040C6202FCT00 is also used in solar applications to adjust the current passing through a battery pack from a solar cell. In industrial and automotive applications, this device is used as a shunt resistor to measure the current passing through a circuit, as well as to provide protection to sensitive components.

The MBA02040C6202FCT00 works according to Ohm’s Law and the principle of voltage division. As current passes through the resistor, it encounters a voltage drop across the component, which is equal to the product of the current and resistance value. The voltage drop across the resistor can be adjusted using its adjustable shaft and screw, which alters the resistance of the resistor and, consequently, the voltage drop across it.
