Through Hole Resistors
The MBB02070C9092DRP00 is an example of the many through hole resistors on the market today. Through hole resistors are a type of resistor with two basic components: a ceramic core with two solderable pins. These components are often used in circuit boards in applications such as telecommunications, radio, and consumer electronics.
Application Field and Working Principle
Through hole resistors are used in a variety of applications where it is essential to modify current or voltage flow. Examples include radio, telecommunications, consumer electronics, audio equipment, computers, and other sophisticated electronic systems. Through-hole resistors tend to be more reliable and more durable than other types of resistors. Their ability to handle high temperature and vibration makes them desirable.
The working principle of the through hole resistor is fairly simple. An electrical current has electrons flowing in one direction. The resistor acts as a barrier to those electrons, providing resistance that restricts the flow of current. The amount of resistance is dictated by the size and shape of the core, the amount of solder used, and the resistance value of the components. This value can be adjusted to meet certain requirements, such as increasing the voltage for an amplifier.
The installation of a through hole resistor is straightforward. The components are placed in the designated location on the circuit board and soldered in place. This type of resistor is usually mounted in an upright position for a precise installation. The components are also typically pre-wired with a connector which makes them easy to install.
Using a through hole resistor is a reliable way to modify current or voltage in a circuit board. When looking for components for a new design or to replace one that is not performing up to par, these types of resistors are often a good option due to their reliability, cost, and ease of installation.
