Through Hole Resistors are among the most crucial components used in electronic circuit designs. They are mainly used to limit or regulate the amount of current being sent though a circuit. The RSF200JR-73-47R is one of the more common through hole resistors currently in use. This article will discuss its application fields and working principles.

Applications of RSF200JR-73-47R

The RSF200JR-73-47R through hole resistors are mainly used in digital circuits, voltage dividers, timing circuits, amplifiers, signal conditioning circuits and other applications requiring regulation of current or electrical impedance. Due to its operating temperature range and wide range of wattages, this resistor model is particularly suitable for operation in high-power, high-voltage circuits.

Operating Principle

The RSF200JR-73-47R through hole resistors are primarily based on Ohm’s law. According to this law, the voltage (V) passing through a resistor is directly proportional to the current (I) passing through it. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance (R). Therefore, by controlling the resistance, the amount of current passing through the resistor can be regulated.

The resistance of a resistor is usually expressed as the “R-value” or resistance value. For the RSF200JR-73-47R model, the resistive material used is a carbon composition that provides a resistance value of 200 Ohms. The power rating for this resistor is 73 watts at a maximum operating temperature of 47 degrees Celsius. This resistor is also designed to be able to withstand voltages of up to 700 volts. These characteristics make the RSF200JR-73-47R an ideal choice for electronic circuits requiring a high power handling capability.

Apart from its power handling capability, the RSF200JR-73-47R can work in a wide range of temperatures ranging from -55 to +150 degrees Celsius. This makes it suitable for use in a range of harsh environmental conditions. Also, its robust housing allows it to be used in applications that require a high degree of mechanical durability.

Conclusion

The RSF200JR-73-47R through hole resistors are a highly versatile, high power and high temperature resistant component. Their resistance value and associated power rating make them suitable for a range of applications such as digital circuits, voltage dividers, timing circuits, amplifiers and signal conditioning circuits. Their ability to work in a wide range of temperatures makes them the ideal choice for applications that require a high degree of mechanical durability.
