RNR50J57R6FSBSL

The RNR50J57R6FSBSL Through Hole Resistor is a small, reliable component that is ideal for applications where space is limited. It is often used in automotive electronics, circuit protection, telecommunications, and industrial applications. The device provides maximum power dissipation of up to 2 watts in a package size of just 0.59” (15mm).

This Through Hole Resistor is specifically designed to handle high overloads and short-circuit conditions. This makes it perfect for circuits where electrical and environmental conditions are demanding. The resistor features a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, and a wide range of working voltages for maximum flexibility.

The RNR50J57R6FSBSL is constructed with a reliable metal oxide film pattern that offers excellent temperature stability and long-term reliability. It also features a heat-resistant and flame-retardant outer surface. The resistor’s low environmental impact meets current RoHS and REACH compliance standards.

Through Hole Resistors work in one of two ways, either by allowing a current to pass through the resistor, or by creating a “short” circuit through the resistor. In either case, the resistor’s job is to limit the flow of current through the circuit, thus providing protection from short-circuits and current overloads.

To understand a Through Hole Resistor’s working principle, consider a circuit that includes a resistor connected between two points. When a voltage is applied to the resistor, either from the positive or negative side of the circuit, electrons flow through the resistor, creating a potential difference (voltage) across it. This potential difference (voltage) is a measure of the resistance within the resistor’s body.

When the voltage applied across the resistor is greater than the resistor’s capacity to resist (its resistance value), electrons pass through the resistor at a limiting rate, thus creating a current through the resistor. This effectively limits the flow of current passing through the resistor.

When the voltage applied to the resistor is less than its resistance value, the resistor acts like an open circuit, allowing no current to pass through it. This open-circuit mode can be used to provide protection from short-circuits by limiting the current flow in the circuit.

The RNR50J57R6FSBSL Through Hole Resistor combines the advantages of low resistance values with a high current rating, making it the perfect choice for applications where space is limited. It can handle high overloads and short-circuit conditions, making it an invaluable component in many electrical and environmental circuits.
