PRNF14FTD8K25 Resistors

Through Hole Resistors

A through hole resistor is a two-terminal electronic component that is designed to provide a resistance to the flow of an electrical current. It is used in many electronic circuits to help regulate the flow of a current, and can be used to produce a voltage drop, when the full current is not necessary, or when the current needs to be restricted in some way. The type of resistor that is most frequently used in through hole applications is the carbon resistor, which is a type of non-linear resistor. Its construction is simple, with two terminals that are spaced apart and a minimum of two resistive elements.

PRNF14FTD8K25 Application Field and Working Principle

The PRNF14FTD8K25 is a through hole resistor, suitable for general use in numerous electronic circuits. It is a single-layer carbon resistor, with a symmetrical layout on a two-layer printed circuit board (PCB). The design of this type of resistor is highly reliable, rated for up to 1 watt dissipation, and with a residence time of up to 10 hours. The size of the resistor is approximately 8mm x 15mm x 18mm, making it suitable for a variety of components and assembly footprints.

The two terminals of the PRNF14FTD8K25 are arranged in a series, meaning that they both carry the same amount of current along a single path. The amount of current passing through the resistor is determined by the applied voltage, and is dependent on the resistance value of the resistor, as well as its proximity to the source voltage. The voltage that is dropped across the resistor is the voltage that appears between the two terminals, and is equal to the voltage applied by the source, divided by the resistance of the resistor. The temperature coefficient of this type of resistor is also important, as it affects the amount of voltage that is dropped across the resistor, and can be altered depending on the type of resistor.

The PRNF14FTD8K25 is a good example of a through-hole resistor with a simple layout and a variety of applications. Its symmetrical layout on a two-layer PCB allows it to be used to regulate the current in many types of electronic circuits, while its size allows it to be placed in a variety of environments. Its resistance value and temperature coefficient are also important factors when determining its suitability for any particular circuit.
