Through Hole Resistors

Through hole resistors are components which are used to provide a specific resistance to a circuit. They are available in many shapes, sizes, and levels of resistance which allow them to be used in any number of applications. One such resistor is the MFR100FTF73-475K, which is specifically designed for use in high-voltage systems.

Application Field

The MFR100FTF73-475K is an axial resistor with a high voltage rating of up to 4700V. It is designed to prevent arcing or sparkover between electrodes in high-voltage environments and is typically used as a safety device to protect components from potentially-damaging high-voltage transients. It can also be used as a high-power dissipation device or as part of a snubber circuit when required.

Other more specialized uses of this component include its application in applications related to power frequency cooling systems, power supplies, motor control circuits, and even in telecommunications networks where it can serve as a critical protection device.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MFR100FTF73-475K is simple in nature. It uses a resistor element to create a known resistance in the circuit which limits the flow of current. As such, it is an effective current-limiting device on high voltage circuits. Since it is a temperature-stable resistor with a very high power-handling capacity, it is ideal for applications where high-power and long-term reliability is of paramount importance.

The MFR100FTF73-475K is designed to be mounted in a through-hole fashion, making it easy to install and mount onto a circuit board. It is an effective and reliable current-limiting option for high-voltage systems, making it a valuable addition to any power system.
