PSM500JB-15R

Through Hole Resistors

The PSM500JB-15R through hole resistor is one of many examples of resistors developed to provide excellent precision, stability, and accuracy over extreme temperatures and demanding environments. Since the introduction of this product, it has become an integral part of many applications, especially where precision is paramount. The PSM500JB-15R is a high-precision resistor designed to accommodate ratings up to 15 watts with a resistance range from 1mΩ up to 15kΩ. This resistor is available in lead-free versions for optimal environmental considerations.

The PSM500JB-15R is specifically designed to have an insulated metal cartridge (IMC) enclosure, which allows the resistor to be securely mounted to a PCB, or other surfaces. This style of packaging offers superior heat dissipation characteristics, allowing the resistor to operate at higher temperatures. It also allows for easy soldering, which allows for easier overall installation.

The key feature of the PSM500JB-15R resistor is its working principle. The resistor utilizes a conductive solid or liquid material, such as silver, carbon, or non-conductive ceramics, which is placed between two metal contacts. In operation, the current is split between the two metal contacts, with the resistance being determined based on the material placed between them. The resistance is then calculated by measuring the current and the voltage drop across the resistor.

The PSM500JB-15R is mainly used in telecommunications, computing, and instrumentation applications. It can be used as a protection element in switching circuits and can be used as a power resistor in measuring or control circuits. The resistor is also a popular choice for automated test equipment, as it offers good frequencies of 50MHz or higher in various applications. The PSM500JB-15R can also be used as a high-power filter for high voltage and current applications.

The PSM500JB-15R is also attractive to engineers as it is available in both leaded and lead-free formats. This makes the PSM500JB-15R compatible with both leaded and lead-free soldering processes, making it easy to use in both conventional and lead-free manufacturing environments. Additionally, the PSM500JB-15R is offered with both blank and taped-forms for ease of use in automated assembly processes.

The PSM500JB-15R has become a popular choice for engineers and technicians alike when working with high-precision and high-current applications. With its excellent thermal properties and reliable performance, it provides an ideal solution for a variety of applications. It is a versatile part that can be used in a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, computing, instrumentation, power systems, and even automotive applications.
