RNF14DTC18K0 Datasheet/PDFThrough Hole Resistors
Through hole resistors provide electrical resistance in electronic circuits. The resistor can be used to limit current flow, provide a bias voltage for transistors and prevent components from over-voltage damage. These resistors are available in a range of sizes, values and wattage ratings.
RNF14DTC18K0 is one of the types of through hole resistors most commonly used in applications today. It is an 18-bit resistor with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, and a rated power dissipation of 0.75W at 25°C. It has a tolerance rating of ±1% and operates at a maximum voltage of 50V DC.
Application Field
RNF14DTC18K0 resistors are mainly used in battery operated and low power applications. They can accommodate a wide range of current and voltage inputs, making them suitable for a variety of electrical and electronic operations. One of the most common applications is in automotive circuits, which use resistors to limit current and provide equal current along multiple lines.
RNF14DTC18K0 resistors are also used in military and aerospace applications, where high levels of accuracy and reliability are paramount. The devices are capable of operating in extreme temperature conditions, without losing their accuracy or reliability. Engineers often use these devices to monitor, regulate and control voltage and current in precision systems such as guidance systems, navigation systems and communications networks.
Working Principle
RNF14DTC18K0 resistors are usually composed of four-layer construction, with an electrically insulating substrate material between the electrical leads. This substrate consists of a combination of metals, polymers, or other substances. On the surface of the substrate, an appropriate electrical path is formed and coated with a thin film resistive material like Nickel Chrome.
When electricity passes through a RNF14DTC18K0 resistor, the resistive material will convert a small amount of the energy into heat. This heat is dissipated into the surrounding environment, thereby reducing the amount of current passing through the resistor. This process is known as Ohm’s law and is the basis for understanding electrical resistance behavior in circuits.
RNF14DTC18K0 resistors have different values depending on their construction and materials used. They are available in both through-hole and surfacemount packages. Surfacemount resistors use external leads whereas through-hole resistors require a hole to be drilled in the printed circuit board. This is why through-hole resistors are often referred to as “through-hole” resistors.
Conclusion
RNF14DTC18K0 resistors are a type of through-hole resistors which are widely used in applications that require a variable but precise amount of current and voltage regulation. These devices are often used in automobile, military and aerospace applications, as they can operate in extreme temperature conditions without compromising on their accuracy. Its operating principle is based on Ohm\'s law, and it’s composed of a combination of electrically insulating substrate material and a resistive layer. Through-hole resistors are also used in other applications to limit current and provide equal current along multiple lines.
