Through Hole Resistors

The ROX10020M0JKEE is a through hole resistor. This type of resistor is composed of a small metal bar, usually called a resistor or a resistor element, that is inserted into a hole in a printed circuit board. The ROX10020M0JKEE has four metallized end caps that fit in the holes, providing electrical contact with the board. The resistor element passes through the holes, where it is connected to the board and held in place by two rods that are soldered to the board.

Application Field

As its name implies, the ROX10020M0JKEE through hole resistor finds widespread use in printed circuit boards. It is typically used to control current flow in a circuit. It can be used as a circuit break, to prevent an overload or short circuit from occurring; or it can be used in other applications where current flow needs to be modified, such as dissipating static electricity or providing feedback in feedback loops and automatic gain control circuits.

Working Principle

Resistors work on the principle of Ohm\'s law, which states that the current passing through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage; or, in other words, the resistance of a resistor determines the amount of current that will flow through it. The length and cross-sectional area of a conductor, such as a resistor, determines the resistance. The resistance of a resistor can be changed by increasing or decreasing its length, or by increasing or decreasing its cross-sectional area. The ROX10020M0JKEE, as with most through hole resistors, is adjusted by varying its length, such that by increasing or decreasing the length of the resistor, its resistance can be varied as well.

Conclusion

The ROX10020M0JKEE is a through hole resistor, widely used on printed circuit boards to control the flow of current. Its resistance can be varied by increasing or decreasing its length. This makes it ideal for a number of different applications, including controlling current flow in circuits, dissipating static electricity, and providing feedback in feedback loops and automatic gain control circuits.
