Through Hole Resistors

Through hole resistors have been in wide use for electrical and electronic circuits for well over a century. With the development of advanced manufacturing and materials technologies, designers can now implement a variety of resistors in conjunction with other components to build a variety of systems. The MFR2WSFTF52-1K6 through hole resistor is one such example.

The MFR2WSFTF52-1K6 is a through hole resistor that is capable of reliably dissipating up to 1W of power, with a maximum operating voltage of 5.2V. The resistor is housed in a small, cylindrical metal package with a threaded mount for easy installation. It is available in a variety of resistance values, from 100 ohms to 1K ohms, and is capable of operating in extreme temperature environments.

The primary application of the MFR2WSFTF52-1K6 is in power electronics and in applications where precise voltage regulation is required. The resistor is most frequently used to regulate the output voltage of switcher power supplies, due to its excellent thermal dissipation capabilities and wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +90°C). It can also be used to limit inrush current in circuits where high transient currents can occur, and in various other power electronics applications.

The MFR2WSFTF52-1K6\'s working principle is based on Ohm\'s Law, which states that the current through a resistor is directly proportional to the voltage across it. As such, the resistor dissipates power as the current passes through it, resulting in a voltage drop. The resistor\'s resistance value directly affects the voltage drop across it, and thus the amount of power dissipated. Therefore, by adjusting the resistance value, the amount of voltage drop (and thus the output voltage) can be precisely regulated.

In summary, the MFR2WSFTF52-1K6 through hole resistor is a reliable and versatile component, designed for use in a wide range of electrical and electronic applications where precise voltage regulation is required. Its ability to effectively dissipate power and operate in extreme environments make it an ideal choice for power electronics, inrush current limiting, and other applications where a precise voltage is needed.
