This article will provide an overview of the various components that make up this resistor, its application field and working principle.

Components of RLR32C1001FMR64

The RLR32C1001FMR64 through hole resistor consists of an outer casing, a resistor element and a metal end cap. The outer casing is made from aluminum and is hermetically sealed with an epoxy and a moisture sealant. The resistor element is made from a thick film composition on a ceramic capacitor substrate and is linked to the caps by a metallized coating. The metal end cap ensures contact with the resistor element and is connected to the other end of the resistor in order to form the electrical path of the resistor.

Application Field

The RLR32C1001FMR64 is suitable for use in applications that require reliable, cost effective and space saving solutions. It is suitable for industrial control, automotive, electronic communication, aerospace, and medical applications. Some applications in these fields include computer terminals, circuit designs, embedded systems and instrumentation.

Working Principle

The RLR32C1001FMR64 resistor works on the principle of resistance. When a voltage or current is applied to the outer casing, it passes through the resistor element and is dissipated as heat. The amount of voltage or current required to cause this heating effect depends on the thickness and resistance of the resistor element. The thicker the resistor and the lower the resistance, the more voltage or current required to cause a current flow and heat up the resistor.

The overall resistance of the RLR32C1001FMR64 is also influenced by the temperature of its environment. This is known as thermo-resistance, and it means that the resistance of the resistor will change according to the temperature of its environment. When the temperature decreases, the resistance of the resistor will increase, and vice versa. This thermo-resistance can also be influenced by the type of material used for the resistor element and the metal end cap.

Conclusion

The RLR32C1001FMR64 through hole resistor is a reliable, cost effective and space saving solution that can be found in a variety of applications. It is composed of an outer casing, resistor element and metal end cap and works on the principle of resistance. Its thermo-resistance is influenced by the type of material used for the resistor and its environment, and is typically used for industrial control, automotive, electronic communication and aerospace applications.
