Through Hole Resistors such as the MFR50SFBF52-344K provide electrical resistance which, when connected in series or parallel along with other electrical components, can control voltage, division of power, and current flow in an electrical circuit. Through hole resistors require lead wires to be connected to the resistor body which then are inserted into components designed to accept leads. These resistors are commonly used in a variety of electrical and electronic devices, such as computers, calculators, cars, audio equipment, and more.

Design and Construction

Through hole resistors consist of two terminals; one is connected to the outer sleeve or resistor body while the other terminal is connected to the inner rod or axle. The resistor body is fitted with a substrate that contains a layer of metallic resistive material such as an alloy of copper and nickel, and allows for the resistor’s resistance to be adjusted. The end of the axle is connected to a plate which serves as a return path for the current. The resistor body and the plate are insulated from each other to prevent any contact between the two.

Working Principle

The resistor is an electrical passive two-terminal component that produces a voltage across its terminals when it has current flowing through it. The voltage is based on Ohm’s law, which states that the voltage (V) through a resistor is directly proportional to the current (I) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). V = I x R. Therefore, as the resistance increases, the voltage across the resistor decreases.

The amount of resistance, R, is determined by the resistance of the material between the terminals. This material may be in the form of metal, ceramic, or plastic. The resistor also has an inherent resistance coefficient that is determined by the type of material used. This inherent coefficient is usually lower than the resistance measured when a current is applied to the resistor.

Applications

The MFR50SFBF52-344K through hole resistor is a popular general purpose resistor that is used in many electrical and electronic applications. These include electrical circuits in cars, airplanes, household appliances, telecommunication equipment, digital devices, computer motherboards, and more. Through hole resistors are typically used in filters, voltage dividers, and voltage regulators. It is also used as an input resistor in transistors and other semiconductors.

The MFR50SFBF52-344K has a high temperature coefficient of resistance, allowing for it to be used in applications that require a greater range of resistance to high temperatures.

Benefits and Drawbacks

Through hole resistors provide many advantages, including easy manufacturability, good thermal stability, and high power levels. Through hole resistors are also known to be reliable and have good tolerance values. They are also relatively inexpensive and, when properly used, can last a long time.

The main disadvantage of through hole resistors is that they have a limited power handling capacity and poor heat dissipation. They are also larger than surface mount resistors, making them less suitable for applications with limited space.

Conclusion

Through hole resistors, such as the MFR50SFBF52-344K, are a cost-effective electrical component often used in a variety of electrical and electronic devices. It’s resistance coefficient is adjusted through its substrate material, and it is popularly used in filters, voltage dividers, and voltage regulators. Through hole resistors have many benefits, such as easy manufacturability, good thermal stability, and high power levels. However, they can also have drawbacks such as poor heat dissipation and limited power handling capacity. As such, it is important to consider the application the resistor will be used for when making a selection.
