Through Hole Resistors

Through-hole resistors are a common type of resistor that are frequently used in electronic circuits. They are made up of a metal rod, called a lead, which is soldered onto a printed circuit board, along with two metal or plastic tips. The resistance of a through-hole resistor is determined by the length of the lead, its diameter, and the resistance factor of the material it is made of. These resistors can typically withstand higher power, and can be adjusted for different values, depending on the application.

RN60C4021FBSL is an example of a through-hole resistor. It is an axial leaded resistor with oxide coated leads, making it ideal for applications that require good volumetric conservation and high power dissipation. The resistor\'s resistance is adjustable and ranges from 0 ohms to 2,000 ohms. It can also be used as a voltage divider to adjust gains of an electronic circuit.

When soldering to a printed circuit board, RN60C4021FBSL has an operating temperature range of -55 degrees Celsius to +125 degrees Celsius and can withstand up to 18 volts. It is also mechanically shockproof and vibration tested. The resistor is often found in supplies of wire, such as in oscillators, filters, and clock circuits.

In order to understand how a through-hole resistor works, it is important to understand the concept of resistance. Resistance acts like a barrier to electrical current. The resistance to electrical current increases with the length of the wire and its diameter. The resistance also changes depending on the material used to make the resistor.

When selecting a through hole resistor for an application, it is important to consider the amount of power it can dissipate. The amount of power a resistor can dissipate is measured in watts or volts, and is determined by the size of the resistor and the resistance material used. Other factors to consider when selecting a through hole resistor include the operating temperature range and the voltage range it is designed to handle.
