RN65D2252FR36

Through Hole Resistors

The general purpose RN65D2252FR36 resistor is one of the many different types of resistors available to engineers for their designs. It is a through hole resistor in the series RN65D, and is manufactured by Furukawa Electric. The resistor falls under the radial leaded resistor category, and the item code is 2252 FR36.

The materials used to build this resistor are carbon film, copper nickel coating and an epoxy resin. Depending on the needs of the design, there is a tolerance of between 5-10%. The maximum working voltage for the RN65D2252FR36 is 400V, and the power rating is 1W. The temperature coefficient is between 100 to +500 ppm/°C at eighty five degrees C.

The application range of the resistor is wide and can be used in different types of circuits. It is ideal for general power supplies, switch equipment, voltage pre-regulators, or as snubber resistors. The small size and light weight of this resistor makes it suitable for projects with minimal space. Engineers are able to choose the appropriate resistance value and package size saving time and costs.

The physical size of the RN65D2252FR36 resistor is small when compared to other resistors in the RN65D series. It is a 2-terminal resistor and is available in three different diameters, 0.146 inches, 0.154 inches and 0.174 inches. The size of the hole required to fit the resistor into the design is between 0.20 inches to 0.222 inches.

The working principle and operation of this resistor is straightforward. As current passes through it, a resisting force is created which in turn lowers the current flow. This happens due to certain materials of known resistance being connected in series in the resistor. The resistor dissipates from the current passing through it, and depending on the engineering design, there are different ways to dissipate that heat.

As with all electronic components, design engineers should take into consideration the operating temperature range, voltage and power when selecting the RN65D2252FR36 resistor for their circuit. Suitable safety measures should be put in place to ensure the resistor is operated within its parameter range.
