OS3R02220F

Through Hole Resistors are electronic components designed for high power applications. One example of such a resistor is the OS3R02220F. It has a wide range of applications across various industries, from aerospace and defense to audio and industrial. The primary function of this type of resistor is to limit electrical currents in order to protect other components from voltage or current surges.

The OS3R02220F is a radial, through-hole resistor designed to handle a continuous operating temperature equal to or less than 65ºC. It has a tolerance of ±5%, which means it maintains a constant resistance over time. The peak pulse power is 4kW for up to 10 seconds, while its wattage capacity ranges from 0.2W to 0.5W. This rugged and reliable resistor is also moisture resistant.

In terms of its construction, the OS3R02220F has an outer shell made of flammability-rated polymer and an inner core made of metal oxide. This construction provides the resistor with enhanced stabilization and ensures protection against thermal, electromagnetic and environmental disturbances. It has a maximum capacitance of 750uF, a maximum inductance of zero ohms, and an insulation resistance of 200 megohms.

The working principle of the OS3R02220F resistor is quite simple. When a current is applied to the resistor, it converts some of the energy into heat, so that the energy that would otherwise be available to cause damage is dissipated. This process regulates the amount of current flowing through the resistor, and helps protect other components from damage or malfunction caused by too much voltage or current.

The OS3R02220F Through Hole Resistor is a versatile and reliable component that is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is durable and can handle high peak power and a wide range of operating temperatures. This component is also the preferred choice for high power applications due to its reliability and insulation resistance. It is ideal for use in commercial, industrial, and aerospace applications.
