Through Hole Resistors and RN60C4023BBSL Application Field and Working Principle

Through hole resistors, also known as leaded resistors, are resistors that are mounted on an electrically insulating board through leads that are inserted into large offset holes in the board. The resistors body is usually a heat-emitting depressed cylinder which can be dipped in a varnish or epoxy matrix in order to eliminate microphonics and increase the presence of humidity and temperature.

The RN60C4023BBSL is a series of through hole resistors produced by Radiation etc. It is a high-precision, high-power, thick-film resistors with a tolerance of ±1%. The resistor size of RN60C4023BBSL is 0.4" x 0.159" (10 mm x 4 mm) and the maximum rating of the part is 400 W at 70°C. The product can handle temperatures from -55°C to +155°C and features a white aluminized aluminum body.

The primary application field of the RN60C4023BBSL resistor is automotive and industrial electronics. It is a common choice for engineers in the power electronic, HVAC, industrial motor control, electrical power distribution, and entertainment system fields. The main areas where the RN60C4023BBSL resistors are used are for power current limiting, overcurrent protection, voltage transients limiting, and limiting of rapid current surges.

The primary working principle behind the RN60C4023BBSL resistor is that of thermal transfer into a resistor. When electric current passes through the resistor\'s terminals, there is a proportional amount of electricity converted into heat energy, which causes the resistor to heat up. The heat that is generated is then transferred away from the resistor, which limits the amount of electricity that passes through it. At the same time, the resistor also has a resistance value set, which determines the amount of current that can pass through it. The resistor acts as a barrier to control the flow of electricity.

In conclusion, the RN60C4023BBSL series of through hole resistors is used in automotive and industrial electronics applications. It is designed for heat transfer from electrical current and has a wide temperature range that can handle temperatures from -55°C all the way up to +155°C. The resistor size of RN60C4023BBSL is 0.4" x 0.159" (10 mm x 4 mm). Controlled flow of current is achieved by regulating the resistance value and limiting the amount of current that passes through the resistor.
