Through Hole Resistors

Through hole resistors are commonly seen in electrical and electronic circuits. These components have an important role in limiting current, developing accuracy, and protecting circuits from overvoltages. They are generally composed of resistive elements, such as resistive wires, thin film resistors, and carbon film resistors. Each type of through hole resistor has a different application field and working principle.

One of the most commonly used types of through hole resistors is the MCB5JB200R. It is a discrete resistor fabricated of carbon film. It is a surface mount device with a thru-hole design, making it suitable for automated machinery, providing a reliable connection in multiple circuits. The device is small and compact, measuring at 5 x 27.5 x 15.2 mm, and weighing 0.043g. It is designed for use in high-voltage circuits, capable of withstanding up to 200 volts.

The application field of the MCB5JB200R includes consumer and industrial electronics. It is commonly used in television sets, medical equipment, air conditioners, and other high-voltage consumer appliances. The working principle of this through hole resistor is based on the principle of Ohm’s Law, which states that the current through a conductor is proportional to the voltage across it, provided that the temperature remains the same. In other words, the MCB5JB200R acts as a flow restrictor, allowing a certain amount of current to pass through it when a certain voltage has been applied to it.

In order for the resistor to work properly, it is important to calculate the value of the resistance in order to allow for the correct amount of current to flow. This is done by either using the Ohm’s Law formula or by using calculators specifically designed to calculate the suitable resistance value. In addition, the power dissipation of the resistor should also be calculated in order to ensure that it does not exceed the maximum operating temperature.

Through hole resistors, such as the MCB5JB200R, are used in various applications within the consumer and industrial electronics industry. They provide accurate current restriction, overvoltage protection, and extended life cycle. In order for these resistors to work properly, it is important to choose the correct resistance values and power dissipation to ensure that it does not exceed the maximum operating temperature.
