OF392JE

Through hole resistors are commonly used in device applications in electronics and electrical engineering. The resistor OF392JE is one of the most commonly used for resistor applications due to its reliability and its available value options.

The OF392JE is a specifically designed through hole resistor with an epoxy-coated base, which helps protect the element from corrosion. The resistor is made of carbon or metal film, and the base is made of aluminum oxide ceramic. It is able to withstand high temperatures, up to 370°C, and is therefore suitable for applications that require durable, reliable performance. It features an ohmic range of 1 Ohm to 10 kilo-Ohms and a minimum rated current of 0.1 Amps.

The OF392JE is typically used in medical and electronic devices, as well as in circuit boards. It is often found in low-voltage applications since it can withstand moderate current levels without sustaining damage. It is suitable for a range of applications such as digital consumer electronics, automotive electronics, power control and LED lighting.

The working principle of the OF392JE is based on the conversion of electrical energy into heat. When electrical current passes through the resistor, it produces a certain amount of heat which is then dissipated into the surrounding air. This process is known as Joule heating, and the rate at which this occurs is referred to as power dissipation.

The heat generated by the resistor is determined by the current flowing through it and the resistance offered by it. When a higher current is conducted, more heat is generated, and when a lower current is conducted, less heat is generated. The amount of heat generated can be calculated using the following equation: P = I2R, where ‘P’ is the power dissipated, ‘I’ is the current flowing through the resistor, and ‘R’ is the resistance offered by the resistor.

In conclusion, the OF392JE is a reliable and durable through hole resistor that is suitable for a range of applications. Its epoxy-coated base helps to protect it from corrosion and it can withstand high temperatures. Its working principle is based on the conversion of electrical energy into heat, and the amount of heat generated can be calculated using the P = I2R equation.
