RN55C3013BR36

Through hole resistors are one of the most frequently employed components in a wide range of applications ranging from the simplest circuit designs to complex digital circuits. They consist of a resistance element, usually a metallic conductor, enclosed in a solid or cased material like ceramic, plastic, silicon, or a combination of these materials. This article will look at the application field and working principle of the RN55C3013BR36 resistor.

The RN55C3013BR36 is a through hole resistor with a maximum power rating of 3 watts. It is constructed as a lead-free aluminum housed component with a standard tolerance of ±5.0%. It is composed of a clay or ceramic core, with the resistance element being aluminum-doped zinc oxide. The available values range from 5Ω to 7.5MΩ, with the resistance value being marked on the resistor package.

In terms of application field, the RN55C3013BR36 is suitable for use in a wide variety of applications. It is particularly popular for use in AC line filter, electronic appliance, LCD TV and flat panel display applications due to its high stability and performance at high frequencies. Additionally, it is also used in power circuits, as an automotive test probe shunting resistor and as a temperature detector.

The working principle of a through hole resistor is relatively straightforward. It has two terminals, one of which is connected to the incoming voltage, with the other connected to the circuit’s ground. The device is a specialized form of resistance, and reduces the current passing through it by reducing the voltage present across it. It works by providing an electrical path for the current to follow, and as the current passes through the resistor, some of the energy is dissipated as heat. This heat is typically dissipated to the surrounding environment, however, there are resistors available which have dedicated heat sinks attached to them.

In conclusion, the RN55C3013BR36 is a through hole resistor that is typically used in AC line filter and electronic appliance applications. It functions by providing an electrical path for current to pass through, with some of the energy dissipated as heat. It has two terminals, one of which is connected to the incoming voltage, with the other connected to the circuit’s ground. The available values range from 5Ω to 7.5MΩ, with the resistance value being marked on the resistor package.
