RN60C4222BBSL

Through Hole Resistors

Through-hole resistors, also known as leaded resistors, are electronic components that help to regulate electric current in electronic and electrical circuits. They consist of a ceramic, metal, or polymeric body over which a metallic strip and one or more wires, called lead wires, are wound. Through-hole resistors are typically used in applications where high current dissipation and high power rating are of critical importance.

RN60C4222BBSL Application Field and Working Principle

The RN60C4222BBSL is a through-hole resistor component manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor. It is rated for a maximum power dissipation of 150 watts and can take up to 4.7 ohms of resistance. The component is made with a ceramic body and two nickel-plated lead wires. The lead wires are then passed through a central hole in the component and welded to the metal strip coated with an iron oxide resistive film. In operation, the lead wires are connected to the supply voltage and the resistor element’s resistance value determines the flow of current in the circuit.

The RN60C4222BBSL resistor is particularly useful in applications that require low noise levels as it produces minimal acoustic noise when in operation and no objectionable odor. It is also suitable for high-temperature environments since the component is pre-formed and can withstand temperatures up to 200°C without significant deformation. It is often used in the automotive industry for applications such as voltage regulators, motor control systems, lighting circuits, and sound systems.

The RN60C4222BBSL through-hole resistor is also used in other industries such as communications and appliances. It is an ideal choice for applications where low noise levels, high resistance, and stability over time are of critical importance. Additionally, the component is UL recognized and RoHS compliant.
