RER40F2100RCSL

Chassis Mount Resistors are essential components in electronic circuits because they provide resistance and act as current-limiting devices within electrical systems and circuits. One of the most popular resistors used for chassis mounting is the RER40F2100RCSL. It is a high-power resistor that can be used for a wide variety of applications, and its working principle is based on Ohm’s Law.

The RER40F2100RCSL is a non-inductive wire-wound resistor that comes in a sealed metal housing featuring brass-plated leads that are mounted on the chassis. The resistor is rated for up to 400 V voltage drop and can handle up to 1000 watts of power. It has a rectangular footprint with a length of 19.0mm and a width of 8.0mm, and it is primarily used for high-power applications.

The working principle of the RER40F2100RCSL is based on Ohm’s Law, which states that the current passing through a resistor is proportional to the voltage applied across the resistor. This means that when a voltage is applied across the resistor, a current will flow through it, and the amount of current will be proportional to the voltage. This current will then be dissipated as heat, and the resistor will act as a current limiter, preventing the current from exceeding the maximum current of the resistor.

The RER40F2100RCSL is used in a variety of applications due to its high power rating and high voltage drop. It can be used in many high-power circuits as a current-limiting device, for motor speed control, and for voltage regulation. It is also used in power supplies for electronic devices, as an inrush current limiter in switching power supplies, in inverters, and in printed circuit boards.

The RER40F2100RCSL is an excellent resistor for high-power applications, as it can handle up to 1000 watts of power and has a high voltage drop rating of 400 V. Its rectangular footprint allows it to be easily mounted to a chassis, and its brass-plated leads ensure a secure connection. Furthermore, its working principle is based on Ohm’s Law, which makes it a reliable and efficient current limiter in many circuits.
