Through Hole Resistors

A through hole resistor, also known as a "Fixed Through Hole Resistor", is a type of component most often used to provide electrical resistance in electronic circuits. They are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and values for a variety of applications.

The MBB02070C2401FC100 is a high power through hole resistor from Vishay, which offers a maximum nominal power of 16W with a maximum operating temperature of 150°C. It also features a maximum element voltage of 400V and a nominal resistance of 20K Ohms.

The MBB02070C2401FC100 has a wide range of possible applications, including power supply filtering, load balancing, lightning protection, and stabilizing circuit parameters. It is capable of effectively absorbing and dissipating excess current in a system, in addition to providing a specific resistance in order to accurately control current and voltage.

Working Principle

A through hole resistor works by limiting the flow of electrons in a circuit according to Ohm\'s Law. The MBB02070C2401FC100 is a non-inductive, wire-wound resistor with a non-flammable coating that provides effective heat dissipation for longer life. The construction of the resistor allows for high accuracy and stability, as well as excellent noise suppression.

In operation, the resistance of the MBB02070C2401FC100 is determined by the wire diameter and the number of turns of the helical wire-wound element. When current passes through the resistor, electrons will encounter a series of obstacles, resulting in an electrical resistance. The amount of resistance will depend on the wire diameter, number of turns, and the temperature of the resistor.

The power rating of the MBB02070C2401FC100 allows for up to 16 watts of power to be dissipated, depending on the environmental conditions and the type of application. The temperature rise of the resistor will be determined by the amount of electricity flowing through it, the ambient temperature, and the thermal resistance of the mounting area.

Conclusion

The MBB02070C2401FC100 through hole resistor is an ideal choice for applications requiring high power dissipation and stable performance. It is capable of absorbing large amounts of current, while offering excellent accuracy and noise suppression. The high power rating of 16 watts allows for a wide range of applications, from power supply filtering to lightning protection and more.
