Through hole resistors are resistors that are configured for use through physical holes in a heat sink, terminal, or other element. The PF1262-0R02J2 is a through hole resistor that is well-suited for a wide range of applications, and it offers some advantages over other types of resistors.

Applications

The PF1262-0R02J2 is a 1/8 watt, 12k, axial-leaded, through-hole resistor intended for use in a wide variety of electronic circuits. It is often used in prototyping and testing of basic signal conditioning circuitry, and is also used in logic or linear circuits in audio, power control, motor control, and gaming applications. The PF1262-0R02J2 is suitable for use in a variety of industrial and consumer electronics, such as medical devices, or any device that requires feedback for accurate control.

Working Principle

The PF1262-0R02J2 is a through-hole resistor that works by limiting the flow of current through a single terminal. This resistor works by generating a voltage drop between its two terminals when an electric current is passed through it. This voltage drop is proportional to the total amount of power dissipated across the resistor. In other words, the PF1262-0R02J2 has a resistance value of 12k ohms, and dissipates 1/8 watts of power, as specified by the manufacturer.

Additionally, the PF1262-0R02J2 has two leads, one positive and one negative, and a small gap between them. This helps to ensure that the current is evenly distributed across the resistor, and that it has a consistent voltage drop. The leads then connect to the appropriate components in the circuit. Because the PF1262-0R02J2 is mounted with a hole through an element, the resistor is well-suited for thermally controlled applications, such as in power control or motor control.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the PF1262-0R02J2 over other through-hole resistors is its size. The PF1262-0R02J2 is one of the smallest through-hole resistors available today, making it an excellent choice for applications where space is at a premium. Additionally, the PF1262-0R02J2 is also very reliable and easy to use, making it ideal for novice as well as experienced engineers. It is also relatively inexpensive, making it a great choice for applications where cost is a major factor.

In summary, the PF1262-0R02J2 is a through-hole resistor that is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is small, reliable, and easy to use, and its low cost makes it an attractive option for circuits requiring feedback or accurate control. It is well-suited for prototyping and testing of basic signal conditioning circuitry, and it is also an excellent choice for industrial and consumer electronics, such as medical devices.
