OD334KE

Through Hole Resistors are used extensively in various electronic circuits for the purpose of limiting and controlling current flow. They are generally made from a variety of materials like carbon, aluminum, copper, and other metals. OD334KE is a specific type of through hole resistor from the series of OD334KE resistors. It is specially designed for high power applications, typically in the range of 1-20 kilowatts.

OD334KE is a metal-oxide-based, resistance-fixed type of resistor. It includes leads in a wide variety of sizes and shapes that conform to Easy-Insert Technology standards. The OD334KE resistor distinguishes itself from other resistors in the series by its ability to dissipate power of up to 200 watts. Its body is constructed from thermal conductive material like aluminum oxide, with silicone-coated leads that help to handle the increase in heat at higher power levels.

The OD334KE is a suitable choice for applications that require a very high wattage rating, such as motor control circuits or lighting systems. It has a very low value of inductance, which makes it ideal for high frequency applications such as switching power supplies, motor controllers, and power relays. The value of the OD334KE resistor varies depending on the resistance range, with common values ranging from 1 ohm to 1M ohm. The resistor has a typical tolerance of ±5% and a temperature coefficient of ±30ppm/°C.

The working principle of the OD334KE resistor is based on the fact that it has a certain amount of resistance that causes the electric current to be dissipated as heat. This process is commonly referred to as Ohm’s law. When a voltage is applied across the leads of the OD334KE resistor, the resistance will cause the current to be dissipated as a voltage drop across the resistor. The amount of power dissipated by the resistor is determined by the resistance and voltage applied. The larger the voltage, the larger the power dissipated.

The OD334KE resistor is also designed to provide overvoltage protection, which is essential for sensitive equipment like computers and audio equipment. The resistor limits the amount of current flowing through the circuit, so that if the voltage applied exceeds a certain level, the excess power will be dissipated as heat and not damage the circuit. The overvoltage protection is essential for ensuring the safety of the equipment and protecting it from damage caused by high voltages.

In summary, the OD334KE is a type of through hole resistor that is suitable for high power applications, such as motor control circuits or lighting systems. It has a very low value of inductance, making it ideal for high frequency applications. It is designed to provide overvoltage protection, which is essential for ensuring the safety of the equipment. The resistor dissipates heat through Ohm’s law, and the power dissipated is determined by the resistance and voltage applied.
