Through Hole Resistors
The application field and working principle of the PAC100005600FA1000 resistor are two extremely important criteria when it comes to understanding the proper use and function of the part. This particular resistor is a through-hole device, meaning it is designed for use in soldered-down assemblies typically mounted on printed circuit boards.
The PAC100005600FA1000 resistor is designed to provide resistive functionality in both AC and DC applications, and when combined, or paralleled with other resistors can also be used to create attenuated voltage-divider networks, providing precise control of output at varying input values. The item itself has a maximum operating temperature of 135°C, and its very small size allows it to be used in limited space applications.
Composition
The PAC100005600FA1000 resistor is composed primarily of a carbon element, surrounded by an insulating, or dielectric material, encased in a metal or plastic housing. This construction creates a single fixed resistance value with a specified tolerance rating.
General Principles
Resistors are passive electrical components, meaning they neither create nor store electrical energy. Thus, the application field of the part is determined by the particular needs and operating characteristics of the circuit.
The working principle of a resistor is relatively straightforward. In a direct current (DC) circuit, the resistor has the sole purpose of reducing the current flow, by limiting the amount of voltage available to the connected device. In an alternating current (AC) circuit, the resistor will also limit the current flow, however, due to its construction, it will also dissipate electrical energy as heat. This characteristic must be taken into account when selecting the proper resistor for an application.
The resistance of a resistor is solely determined by its construction materials as well as its physical size. The typical unit of measurement for resistance is the ohm. In some cases, a resistor may be required to have a precise resistance level, in which case, calibration is done prior to fitment, ensuring a precise value.
Application Field of the PAC100005600FA1000
The PAC100005600FA1000 resistor is a general purpose part, designed for use in a broad range of applications. The physical size and power handling characteristics make it suitable for use in most consumer electronics, such as amplifiers, televisions, radios, and recording equipment. Additionally, the part is robust enough to be used in industrial applications as well, in industrial automation systems, robotics, and instrumentation.
Working Principles of the PAC100005600FA1000
The working principle of the PAC100005600FA1000 is based on the principles of ohm\'s law and the property of resistance. Ohm\'s law states that "the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points". In simpler terms, this means that the current through the resistor is limited by the resistance of the part and the voltage present. The part itself has a pre-set resistance, or specific level of impedance. This creates a voltage drop across the device, and thus, the amount of current available to the connected device is limited, thus providing the desired functionality.
Conclusion
Overall, the application field and working principle of the PAC100005600FA1000 resistor are relatively straightforward. It is designed for use in a broad range of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial automation, and its working principle is based upon the properties of resistance and ohm\'s law.
