Working Principle of RS00515K00FS73

RS00515K00FS73 through-hole resistor utilizes a film of carbon-based material as the main component of its resistance. Carbon film technology is one of the earliest resistor technologies and is still in use today due to its reliable performance and excellent resistance stability. The resistor is produced as a cylinder, with two metal leads protruding out the body of the resistor. When a voltage is applied to the two leads, an electric current flows through the resistor and a voltage drop is created across the resistor proportional to the resistance value.

The magnitude of this voltage drop is in turn determined by the size and shape of the resistive material itself. The resistive material can be uniform or spiraled, and can also be manufactured in different sizes to increase or decrease the total resistance value of the resistor. The RS00515K00FS73 through-hole resistor is also protected by a heat-resistant coating which helps dissipate the heat generated by the resistor when it is in use.

In summary, the RS00515K00FS73 through-hole resistor is a reliable, low power solution for a variety of electronics applications. Its carbon-film construction is durable and offers excellent resistance stability for the application. Its protective coating allows for long-term use with minimal degradation, and its simple leaded design allows it to be easily installed and soldered onto a printed circuit board.
