OY222KE

Through Hole Resistors

OY222KE resistors are one of the most widely used type of resistors for through hole applications. These resistors have a wide voltage rating and are capable of handling large amounts of current. They are often used in power supply circuits, industrial control systems, and motor control applications.

Application Field

One of the most common applications for OY222KE resistors is for current limiting in power supply circuits, especially when protection against over-voltage is needed. OY222KE resistors are also suitable for short-circuit protection in motor control systems, voltage stabilizing circuits, and circuit breakers. These resistors are also sometimes used for surge protection in medical equipment.

Working Principle

OY222KE resistors work on the principle of Ohm\'s Law, which states that the current flowing through a resistor is inversely proportional to its resistance. This means that a higher resistance will result in a lower current flow. OY222KE resistors are designed to provide a predetermined amount of resistance in order to limit the current flowing through the circuit to a certain level.

OY222KE resistors can be used either as standalone components or as part of a larger circuit. When used as part of a circuit, they can be connected in series, parallel, or combinations of both. This allows for more complex configurations of resistors to be created and controlled.

OY222KE resistors are commonly used in applications which require precision control of current. This is because they feature a wide range of tolerances, ranging from +/-0.8% to +/-15%. This allows for precise electrical currents to be regulated in different kinds of circuits.
