RC14KT2R70

Through Hole Resistors

Through-hole resistors are passive components, and can provide resistance in both AC and DC circuits. They are found in a variety of consumer electronics such as radios, televisions, computers, and more. The RC14KT2R70 is a through hole resistor with a standard pin spacing.

Application Field

The RC14KT2R70 is a through hole resistor that is primarily used for high power applications such as power supplies, solar cells, LED lighting, and other industrial applications. It is also popular in automotive and military equipment due to its reliability and durability.

The RC14KT2R70 can handle current of up to 4 amps, and the resistance value is marked on the resistor itself. This makes it easy to identify and install the right resistor for the application. This resistor is also designed to operate over a wide temperature range and can handle up to 125°C.

Working Principle

The RC14KT2R70 is a through-hole resistor and works on Ohm’s law – the electric current that flows through it is directly proportional to the applied voltage. This resistor works on a simple principle: when voltage is applied to either end of the resistor, an electric current passes through the resistive material in the resistor and is dissipated as heat.

The resistance is determined by the type of resistive material inside the resistor. The resistive material can be a combination of metal, carbon, and other compounds. The size of the resistor also affects its resistance.

The heat generated by the resistor is dissipated through the metal casing and then into the atmosphere. The greater the current, the more heat the resistor will generate. Therefore, it is important to select the correct resistor for the application in order to prevent potentially dangerous temperature increases.
