Through Hole Resistors

Through hole resistors are a type of electric resistors consisting of a cylindrical solid body and a pair of rods protruding from the bottom of it. This type of resistor is designed to be mounted on or into a printed circuit board (PCB) and conduct high currents of electricity with little to no heat generated. Through hole resistors are used in a variety of electronic and electrical applications and are generally rated for higher wattage than the other types of resistors.

The RLR32C1543FMRE6 is an example of a popular through hole resistor. This resistor is rated for 5 Watts, though more power can generally be delivered if it is cooled adequately. This resistor also has a dissipation power rating of 4 Watts, meaning it can dissipate up to 4 Watts of power safely without exceeding its maximum operating temperature. Additionally, it has a wide temperature range of -55°C to 230°C.

RLR32C1543FMRE6 Application Field and Working Principle

The RLR32C1543FMRE6 has a wide variety of applications, including DC/DC and AC/DC converters, amplifiers, audio circuits and high-voltage circuits. Generally, through hole resistors like the RLR32C1543FMRE6 can be connected in any configuration to meet the desired resistance range. For example, it can be simply connected in a series circuit or in a parallel circuit to increase the total current rating of the circuit.

The working principle of the RLR32C1543FMRE6 is relatively simple. When current runs through the resistor, some of the energy of the current is converted into heat due to the resistance in the circuit. This heat is dissipated to the environment, essentially reducing the power of the current passing through the circuit. This effect is what gives resistors their name; they resist the flow of electricity.

The material of the resistor and its external characteristics will determine the resistance value of the resistor. The RLR32C1543FMRE6 is made with a compound of Type RL30S resistors, which is a mixture of polycarbonate resistors and carbon resistors. This gave the resistor a temperature coefficient of -10ppm/°C, meaning that it keeps its resistance value within 10ppm for each °C of temperature change, making it an excellent choice for high-voltage, low-noise applications.

Conclusion

To conclude, through hole resistors like the RLR32C1543FMRE6 are components designed to conduct high currents while dissipating minimal amounts of heat. Taking advantages of its temperature coefficient of -10ppm/°C and high temperature stability range, the RLR32C1543FMRE6 is an ideal choice for numerous electronic and electrical applications.
