MK1100FE-R52

Through Hole Resistors are electrical components used in circuits for controlling current flow and voltage levels. The MK1100FE-R52 is a through hole resistor, a type of resistor which is designed to fit through a hole in a printed circuit board. Through Hole Resistors like the MK1100FE-R52 are generally used for applications that need low power handling and a high degree of reliability and accuracy.

The MK1100FE-R52 is a small through hole resistor with a power rating of 0.5 W, a resistance value of 1 kΩ and a tolerance of ±5%. It is encapsulated in a flame retardant UL94V-0 rated epoxy. The device is resistant to humidity and vibration, allowing for a wide array of applications.

The main applications for the MK1100FE-R52 are in home appliances, automotive electronics and audio-visual systems. In these applications, the device is generally used for controlling the current supplied to various components, ensuring that they are not overloaded and that signals remain accurate and consistent. The device is also used for temperature compensation in sensitive electronic applications where accuracy is paramount.

The working principle of the MK1100FE-R52 is based on the fact that current flowing through a resistance encounters resistance to its flow. This concept is known as Ohm’s law, and states that for a given voltage, the current flowing through a resistor is inversely proportional to its resistance (V = IR).

The MK1100FE-R52 is constructed using a small piece of resistive material, such as metal oxide film, encased within an epoxy package. When current flows through the device, the resistance of the material converts the electrical energy into heat, which is dissipated from the device. By adjusting the type of resistive material used, as well as the value of the resistance, designers can select a resistor that meets their specific power handling and accuracy requirements.

In conclusion, the MK1100FE-R52 is an example of a through hole resistor. This device is used in a range of applications, including home appliances, automotive electronics and audio-visual systems, due to its ability to provide accurate and reliable current control. The MK1100FE-R52 works based on Ohm’s law, converting electrical energy into heat with a resistive material encased in an epoxy package.
