Through Hole Resistors

Through Hole Resistors are one of the most common electronic components used in circuits. They are used to limit current flow or provide voltage division. The most popular form of a Through Hole Resistor is a moulded resistor with two leads extending from the body of the resistor.

The MR5FB5L00 is a Through Hole Resistor that has a rectangular shape. It is made up of an electrically conducting material, such as metal or carbon, coated in a ceramic material that adds insulation and stability to the resistor. It has two standard leads that extend from each side of the resistor body and provides space for a resistor to be placed inside of the casing. The MR5FB5L00 is often used in parallel with other resistors to control the flow of current in a circuit.

Application Field

The MR5FB5L00 Through Hole Resistor is a common choice for applications where precise control of electrical current is needed. It is often used in power supplies, high voltage switching circuits, and charge pumps. The resistor is capable of resisting up to 5 watts of power, and can handle temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius. It is also suitable for use in low-power applications such as high-precision video and audio systems.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MR5FB5L00 Through Hole Resistor is simple. It consists of an inert material consisting of metal or carbon encased in a ceramic material. The material of the resistor is designed to have a high resistance to electric current. When electric current passes through the resistor, a certain amount of it will be dissipated as heat. This is known as the power dissipation of a resistor and is measured in watts.

The power dissipation of a resistor is a function of its resistance and the current flowing through it. In other words, if two resistors are connected in parallel, the total power dissipation will be the sum of the power dissipations of the individual resistors. This is useful for controlling and managing the power in circuits that require precise control of electrical current.

Conclusion

The MR5FB5L00 Through Hole Resistor is a popular component in circuits where precise control of electric current is required. Its rectangular shape provides space for a resistor to be installed inside of the casing and its two standard leads provide easy connection with other components. The resistor offers a high resistance to electrical current and is capable of dissipating up to 5 watts of power, making it suitable for both high and low power applications. It is also capable of handling temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius, making it a reliable choice for electronic circuits.
