Through Hole Resistors

MFR100FTF73-46K4 through hole resistors are a type of passive component used to resist current flow, adjust signal levels, and has a wide range of uses. It typically comes in the form of small metal wired resistance connected to a cylindrical shape in which a wire is inserted and soldered. Through hole resistors are a reliable choice for many applications as they are easily mountable compared to other passive components, soldered with a high heat tolerance, and easily replaceable.

Application Field

Through hole resistors are most commonly used in a variety of industries such as electronics, automotive, medical, aerospace, industrial, and military. These industry standards represent the majority of the use of these resistors, but there are also many commercial and consumer uses. Some of the more common applications for through hole resistors include:

• Electronics: Through hole resistors are used in circuitry to adjust signal levels, reduce wattage, and voltage adjustment, providing many essential elements of a functional circuit.
• Automotive: Through hole resistors are used extensively in the automotive industry to protect certain components from any voltage spikes caused by the alternator. This prevents a short circuit.
• Medical: Through hole resistors are used in medical devices, helping to reduce noise and distortion from EKG Òwaves.Ó
• Aerospace: Through hole resistors play an important role in many systems used in aircraft as they are the ideal solution for maintaining resistance along with good heat dissipation.
• Industrial: Through hole resistors are used in industrial applications to handle large amounts of power and current. These large resistors have the ability to hook up to terminals with large amounts of wires which are connected to large components.
• Military: Through hole resistors are used in military applications as well, where they are used to reduce EMI or RFI interference and for thermal management.

Working Principle

Through hole resistors are composed of a cylindrical body with a wire inserted into it. The resistance between the wire and the body is created when electrons pass through the resistor, and the voltage drop occurs. This voltage drop depends on the resistance of the resistor, the current, and the potential difference between the 2 points. The values of these parameters determine the amount of resistance provided and the voltage drop as well.

The main advantage of using through hole resistors is that they provide a very reliable voltage drop when compared to other types of resistors. The resistor is very resistant to environmental factors due to its construction, and because of its cylindrical shape, it dissipates heat quickly which helps keep the resistor cool and efficient.

Through hole resistors are also very easy to install and replace. Most resistors have their values specified in the form of colour coded bands which are printed on its body which makes it easy to identify the value.In addition, these resistors have a wide tolerance range making them suitable for a variety of different applications.
