Through Hole Resistor is a type of resistor that can be used in electrical circuits, and possesses the ability to control electrical current. In this article, we discuss the application field and working principle of R3J120E, a specific through hole resistor type.

Application Field

The R3J120E through hole resistor series can be used in a broad range of applications, including audio and video applications, commercial and industrial analog-to-digital converters, computer bus buffering, interface protection and power management systems. This series of resistors is also used in various applications, such as power control applications, medical instrumentation, voltage/current regulation, current sensing high voltage circuits, and overvoltage protection systems. Moreover, these resistors are also suitable for automotive applications, such as ESD protection, power generators, lockers, and motor control systems.

Given their properties, such as high electrical stability, low noise, long life reliability, wide range of operating temperature and cost effectiveness, these resistors are highly preferred for a variety of applications. Beside the applications mentioned above, R3J120E through hole resistors are also used in DC to DC converters, motor control systems, and switched-mode power supplies.

Working Principle

The working principle of the R3J120E through hole resistor is straightforward. This type of resistor is designed to limit electrical current in the circuit. When current passing through the resistor, it causes a decrease in voltage, allowing for lower voltage in certain areas of the circuit. The magnitude of the decreased voltage is dependent on the resistance value of the resistor. Depending on the desire, these values can be adjusted through variations of resistor values for different applications.

When an electric current passes through a resistor, there is some amount of power dissipated. This power is converted into heat energy due to the resistance of the resistor also known as Joule\'s Law. Therefore, R3J120E through hole resistors typically are designed to have the ability to dissipate these heat energy as much as possible. To address this, many times a R3J120E resistor will be designed with a heat sink or other similar cooling system, for successful and effective heat transfer.

Moreover, R3J120E through hole resistors also feature a safety feature known as "inrush current limiting". This feature is known to provide protection from any potential transient overcurrents by limiting the sudden surge of current that happens during startup.

In summary, R3J120E through hole resistors are widely used in various applications due to their ability to control electrical current, dissipate heat energy, and reduce inrush current. By understanding its application fields and working principles, engineers are able to make the most out of this type of resistor in order to design more reliable electrionic circuits.
