RH050560R0FE02

Chassis mount resistors have been around for decades and are a staple of the electronic industry. The RH050560R0FE02 is one such resistor that has been developed specifically for applications where extreme shock and vibration are expected to be encountered. The RH050560R0FE02 is a high-reliability, 3-terminal, non-inductive resistor with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

The RH050560R0FE02 is constructed with a single-piece metal core made of aluminum or stainless steel. The core is then wrapped in a fiberglass fabric insulation which is impregnated with a silicone-based paste. The entire assembly is then encapsulated inside a thermally conductive polymer or epoxy-based material. This construction ensures a rugged design with excellent thermal, electrical and shock/vibration properties.

The RH050560R0FE02’s application fields include automotive, industrial control, EMC/EMI filter networks, high frequency power networks, power supplies, defibrillators, and other medical devices. Its strength lies in providing a cost-effective solution where high-reliability, shock and vibration, temperature stability and ultra-low inductance are a factor. Its 3-terminal design also enables it to handle higher current than standard resistors, making it suitable for critical current limiting applications.

The working principle of RH050560R0FE02 is fairly straightforward. Its resistance is determined by the material the core is made from and the size of the core. As current is applied to the resistor, the resistance material heats up due to the applied current. This causes a decrease in resistance, which in turn can be used to control voltage or current in the application. The shock/vibration characteristics of the RH050560R0FE02 also help to absorb sudden shock and vibration that may occur during operation, allowing the resistor to remain durable in harsh environments.

In summary, the RH050560R0FE02 is a highly reliable 3-terminal, non-inductive resistor designed to provide excellent thermal, electrical, and shock/vibration properties. It is ideal for use in automotive, industrial control, EMC/EMI filter networks, high frequency power networks, power supplies, defibrillators, and other medical devices. Its working principle involves controlling voltage or current levels by utilizing the heating effect of the core material as current is applied, thus making the RH050560R0FE02 suitable for critical current limiting applications.
