This resistor\'s extraordinary qualities and compact size make it a crucial component in numerous electronic applications.

Application Field

The PF2203-0R05J1 is most commonly used in communication systems, consumer electronics, medical devices, control systems, automotive electronics, instrument, electric motors and pumps, optical equipment, and power supply boards. These uses are made possible by the resistor\'s exceptional level of precision and it\'s ability to exhibit stable electrical characteristics over wide temperature ranges. Moreover, this resistor is able to deliver a significant power rating despite its small form factor, making it useful in high power applications.

Working Principles

PF2203-0R05J1 is a through-hole resistor and works on the basis of Ohm\'s law. This law states that in an electrical circuit the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it. That is, the current I flowing through a resistor of resistance R that has voltage V applied across it is given by the equation, I = V/R. That means the voltage drop across a resistor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

In short, these resistors work by adjusting the amount of current passing through a circuit. The board\'s circuit design dictates how much current is needed, and the resistance of the resistor is then selected to determine how much current will actually pass through the circuit. The PF2203-0R05J1 has a resistance of 0.05 ohms and works within wide temperature ranges, making it an ideal choice for a variety of circuits.
