RN60C9311BRE6

Through Hole Resistors

The RN60C9311BRE6 is a special type of through hole resistor. It is designed to be used in applications where massive amounts of current need to be controlled. It is composed of two resistors, one on each end of a threaded aluminium sleeve, the part is designed to prevent excessive current or voltage from damaging other components in the circuit. The product name is code for the type of resistor, with RN denoting \'through hole\', 60 denoting the resistance value, C denoting the tolerance rating, 9311 denoting the series, and BRE6 denoting the type.

This particular type of resistor is designed to be used in high power applications and is capable of providing very low resistance values, allowing large currents to pass through the resistor without excessive heating. The entire structure is designed to provide increased stability and reliability at these high power levels. The parts have a long-term reliability rating of 1% and extremely low thermal coefficients.

In operation, the resistor dissipates heat generated by current flowing through it, this is known as ‘power dissipation’, with the amount of heat dependant on both the amount of current and the resistance value. The resistors are capable of handling temperatures of up to 125°C without degrading their performance. They are also designed with an integral heatsink, which allows them to operate in higher power applications as the increased thermal mass helps dissipate heat more evenly. As a result, the device is well suited for use in rugged applications and demanding environments.

The RN60C9311BRE6 is an ideal component to use when large amounts of current need to be regulated for a sustained length of time. They are also capable of providing very low resistance values, allowing efficient regulation of the current. Finally, their long-term reliability and useful thermal mass provides excellent temperature stability over extended periods of operation.
