RN60D5760FRE6

Through Hole Resistors, such as the RN60D5760FRE6, are an important component in many electronics systems. These resistors are used to limit the current passing through a circuit, stop the voltage from increasing beyond a certain point, and provide isolation between components. The RN60D5760FRE6 is a resistor prototype designed by Vishay, and is part of the RN60D series general-purpose resistor range. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the RN60D5760FRE6.

Applications

The design of the RN60D5760FRE6 allows it to be used in a wide range of applications, including radio frequency (RF) and radar systems, high frequency inverters, medical equipment, and military systems. The resistor is also suitable for high voltage applications, and can handle up to 500V. Its low impedance design also makes it suitable for high frequency applications, from 50 to 1,000 MHz.

Other applications of the RN60D5760FRE6 include telecommunications, electronic toys, automotive electronics, and home security systems. The resistor is also ideal for high-precision applications, such as medical imaging systems, and can be used as an EMI filter or shunt resistor for overvoltage protection.

Working Principle

The RN60D5760FRE6 working principle is based on the Ohm’s law, which states that the current passing through a resistor is inversely proportional to its resistance. In other words, for any given voltage, the higher the resistance, the lower the current. This basic principle is used to design resistors such as the RN60D5760FRE6.

The RN60D5760FRE6 is a fixed-value resistor, meaning that it has a specific, fixed resistance value. This value is determined based on the materials used in the resistor’s construction. The resistor is made of a metal alloy consisting of copper, tin, and nickel. Different ratios of these metals can be used to adjust the resistance to the desired value.

The RN60D5760FRE6 has a resistance value of 5760 ohms, which means that when a voltage of 1 volt is applied, the current will be 0.00017 amperes. This resistance value can also be increased or decreased to adjust the current passing through the resistor. The resistor also has a maximum power rating of 350mW, meaning that it can handle up to 350 milliwatts of power.

Conclusion

The RN60D5760FRE6 is a through hole resistor designed to provide isolation and current-limiting in a wide range of electronic systems. Its fixed resistance value is determined using a metal alloy consisting of copper, tin, and nickel. The resistor is suitable for high voltage, high frequency, and high precision applications, and can also be used as an EMI filter or shunt resistor for overvoltage protection.
