Through Hole Resistors

PSP500KR-470R resistors are categorized under through hole resistors. Through hole resistors are a type of resistor that is leaded for the purpose of providing a physical connection to the circuit, which allow a user to access them easily. The advantages of through hole resistors are that they are more robust and can take a lot more abuse than surface mount ones. Also, their size allows them to be placed in a greater number of locations.

As the name suggests, through hole resistors are installed by drilling a small hole into the surface and then inserting the resistor leads into the hole and soldering them in place. This makes them easy to remove and reinstall. The leads of through-hole resistors also help facilitate their connection to electrical components as they conduct current, making them perfect for specific designs and circuit board layouts.

The PSP500KR-470R is a through-hole resistor with a resistance value of 470 ohms and can handle currents up to 500mA. It has a cylindrical body with two insulated, nickel-plated leads. This product is suitable for heat dissipation and it is also RoHS compliant. It has a wattage rating of 2W and can be used in medical, industry, and consumer electronics.

Application Field

PSP500KR-470R Resistors are used in a wide variety of applications. They can be used in power supply circuits, switching power supplies, motor control, medical equipment, relay supply monitoring, heating and ventilation systems, light control, and more. The main advantage of the PSP500KR-470R resistor is its wide range of applications due to its surge-suppression feature. The surge-suppression feature enables the PSP500KR-470R resistor to protect against over-voltage, such as in a highly charged power supply circuit.

Working Principle

The working principle of the PSP500KR-470R resistor is based on the movement of electrons. Electrons move from the anode, which is positively charged, to the cathode, which is negatively charged. The resistance of the PSP500KR-470R resistor is a measurement of how much the electrons are resisted in the process of moving from one end of the resistor to the other. This, in turn, determines how much voltage is dropped across the resistor and, therefore, how much power it dissipates. The PSP500KR-470R resistor is designed to handle up to 500mA of current, providing surge protection and a wide range of applications.

Conclusion

Overall, PSP500KR-470R resistors are a perfect choice for many applications, thanks to its surge-suppression feature and its ability to handle up to 500mA of current. The PSP500KR-470R resistor is a through-hole resistor with a resistance of 470 ohms and can be used in a wide range of applications, such as motor control, medical equipment, and power supply circuits. Through understanding its working principle and taking into consideration its excellent surge suppression feature, PSP500KR-470R resistors are the ideal choice for many applications.
