Through Hole Resistors

MBA02040D1241BC100 is a through hole resistor—a component which uses a resistor element that is specified by its resistance value and temperature coefficient. It is designed for use in a variety of electronic circuits, from low-frequency circuits to high-frequency systems and from discrete components to integrated circuits. This type of resistor is one of the most commonly used components in today’s electronics industry.

Through hole resistors come in a variety of sizes and shapes, but the most common are cylindrical, with radial leads extending from each end. They are generally made from a ceramic material and enclosed in a plastic case with the various properties of the resistor clearly marked. The MBA02040D1241BC100 resistor is a 5mm by 1.5mm cylindrical resistor, with 0.5W of rated power. It has two terminals—a positive terminal, marked with a "+" sign, and a negative terminal, marked with a "-" sign.

Application Field and Working Principle

Through hole resistors are used in a variety of electronic circuits to reduce or increase the amount of current or voltage flowing through a device. For example, they can be used to limit the range of input voltages, to help protect sensitive components from damage or to regulate the current in an LED display. The resistance value of a through hole resistor is determined by the material used in its construction and the type and size of the terminals.

The MBA02040D1241BC100 has a resistance of 10 ohms and a temperature coefficient of +100 ppm/K, meaning that the resistance value will increase by 100 parts per million for every degree Kelvin increase in temperature. This type of resistor is often used in temperature-sensitive applications, such as temperature sensors and temperature-compensated circuits. It is also reliable at higher temperatures, making it suitable for use in automotive and other harsh environment applications.

When used in a circuit, the MBA02040D1241BC100 works by creating a voltage drop. A voltage drop occurs when electrons move through the resistive element and a potential difference is created. This potential difference creates a current, which is proportional to the level of resistance. As the current flows through the resistor, a proportion of the energy is converted to heat, dissipated from the resistor.

Because of its stable performance and reliability, the MBA02040D1241BC100 through hole resistor is a popular choice for many applications. It provides accurate resistance values and can operate over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for a variety of devices and uses. It is also a cost-effective solution, delivering reliable performance at a reasonable price.
