Through Hole Resistors

Through hole resistors have helped to revolutionize the electronics industry. They are widely used in circuit designs that are difficult or impractical to use surface mount components. The RLR20C5600GMRE6 is a popular type of through hole resistor that is often chosen for its reliable performance, long lifespan, and ability to withstand conditions that other components may not.

Application Field

RLR20C5600GMRE6 through hole resistors are often used in critical applications such as automotive, military, or industrial applications. It is specifically designed for use in harsh environments and temperature extremes. The resistor features a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C and is able to withstand high vibration and shock. It is dustproof, water-resistant, and wea​​therproof, making it ideal for outdoor applications.

This type of resistor is also used in audio/video systems, microwave ovens, and medical applications. Its tight tolerances, low dissipation factor, and high pulse capability make it perfect for noise and interference filtering in EMI/RFI-sensitive electronics. Additionally, its small size makes it ideal for tight spaces, making it perfect for applications where board real estate is limited.

Working Principle

The RLR20C5600GMRE6 is a radial lead, through hole resistor that works just like other leaded resistors. It is composed of a ceramic rod core, two wire leads, and a resistive coating. The ceramic core is covered with a resistive material that forms the device’s resistance value. The two leads are connected to the ceramic core and direct the current that flows through the device. The device reacts to current by producing heat, which is dissipated by the ceramic core.

This type of resistor is rated for higher wattage than other standard resistors and is capable of dissipating up to 20-watts of power. Additionally, it is designed with a longer body length that enables it to dissipate heat faster and more efficiently than other resistors. The longer body also allows it to dissipate more heat when higher power is required.

The device also features high quality construction with corrosion resistant plating, as well as high temperature tinning that prevents oxidation and corrosion. It is also designed with a long life expectancy, making it a suitable choice for applications that require reliable performance and durability. The product is also designed to meet AEC-Q200 qualifications and can be used in automotive applications.

Conclusion

The RLR20C5600GMRE6 is a through hole resistor that is well-suited for applications requiring reliable performance and long-term durability. It is well-suited for harsh environments and temperature extremes, making it ideal for automotive, military, and industrial applications. The device is also designed with a long-body length that is able to effectively dissipate more heat than other standard resistors, making it suitable for high power applications.
