• Satellite TV/communication systems

Working Principle

Through hole resistors work on the principle of Ohm’s law, which states that the current through a conductor is in direct proportion to the potential difference across the two ends of the conductor. In a resistor, resistance is proportional to the ratio of potential difference to the current, known as its resistance value. By using different materials and different shapes for the resistors, different resistance values can be achieved.

In general, the ROX100200MJNLB family of resistors are made of an epoxy-encapsulated ceramic body with either a single-wire or a two-wire connection. The ceramic body has a metal coating that provides insulation and protection from corrosion and other contaminants. The metal coating also shields the resistor from potential damage due to temperature changes.

When current passes through a resistor, it dissipates some power, in the form of heat. In order to ensure the resistor does not overheat and damage its internal components, the resistance needs to be chosen carefully. This is done by calculating the total power dissipated in the resistor and choosing a suitable resistance value, which is called the resistor’s wattage rating.

Conclusion

The ROX100200MJNLB family of through hole resistors are robust and reliable components that are optimized for cost-effectiveness and easy assembly and installation. They are suitable for a variety of applications and can withstand harsh industrial and marine environments. By calculating the total power dissipation in the resistor and choosing a suitable resistance value, the wattage rating of the resistor can be ensured.
