RNF14DTC205K

Through Hole Resistors are components used to reduce or control flow of current, add or alter the timing of signals, divide voltages or to isolate one part of a circuit from another. RNF14DTC205K, a through hole resistor, is used in a variety of consumer, industrial, automotive and aerospace applications.

The RNF14DTC205K assembly is a fixed-value resistor fabricated from a high quality oxide ceramic body and has two metalized ends, making it suitable for through-hole mounting, and its lead type is axial. Its external size is 4.5mm (diameter) by 7.5mm (L) and it operates at a maximum working voltage of 250 volts. Notably, it is an axial leaded resistor made to be mounted from the top and bottom of the board or chassis.

The RNF14DTC205K has a power rating of 0.25W, and a tolerance of ±5%. Furthermore, it comes with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +155°C. The resistor has a high electrical insulation property and is fireproof due to use of epoxy resin as the flame retardant material. The dissipation factor and thermal resistance are lower than those of other resistors so it is able to dissipate and transfer heat better, making it suitable for applications in higher temperature environments.

RNF14DTC205K resistors can be used in aesthetic lighting, automotive, consumer electronics, home appliance, medical, and industrial devices. Possible applications include voltage division, current limiting, damping and protection circuits, pulse generation circuits, and noise suppression.

While the RNF14DTC205K resistor is made from a ceramic body, the way it works is just like other resistors. The resistor has two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, connected by its material body. When an electric current is sent through it, a voltage drop is created at the terminals of the resistor, since a resistance is present across them. The current flow is governed by the resistance of the material. By connecting it to the circuit, resistors can be used to reduce current flow, or voltage and hence reduce the power thus preserving the circuit elements.

The RNF14DTC205K resistor is suitable for a variety of applications due to its small size and compact structure, high power rating, and wide operating temperature range. It has high electrical insulation properties and is able to dissipate and transfer heat better, which makes it suitable for use in higher temperature environments. Additionally, its good heat dissipation ensures that power is properly dissipated and this reduces the chances of the resistor dying out due to heat overload.
