RNF14DTD120R

Through Hole Resistors

The RNF14DTD120R resistor is a popular type of through hole resistor constructed with a cylindrical body and slotted screws. They are available in two and three terminal models. The cylindrical body serves as the heat dissipating element and the slot serves as the electrical connection. These resistors come in a wide variety of sizes and voltage ratings.

Application Field

The RNF14DTD120R is a popular choice for applications in industrial and commercial settings, such as in automotive, telecommunications, lighting and appliance industries. They can be used in power supplies, generators, amplifier circuits, and in bridges, oscillators, filters, regulators, and other control equipment. They are often used in switching power supplies, RF amplifiers and switching systems, digital logic circuits, and power electronics. Additionally, they can be used in power cables and in flashing lights and instrumentation.

Working Principle

A through hole resistor works by creating an electrical current across its terminals. This current is the result of the resistance between the two ends of the resistor, which is determined by the length, cross section, and material of the resistor. The voltage is applied to one terminal and then the other terminal is connected to either a voltage or ground. The current then flows through the resistor, thus creating a voltage drop or a resistance. By changing the resistance, the current can be adjusted or regulated.

This type of resistor is ideal for applications that require a precise amount of resistance as it is linear and can be adjusted through varying sizes and materials. Furthermore, they are suitable for higher frequency use as their construction is well suited to handle higher voltages without significant heat dissipation. Finally, the fact that they are through hole resistors means that they are easily installed in a more stable fashion than surface mount resistors.
