RSF2WSJR-52-120K

Through Hole Resistors

Through hole resistors are components used to reduce the flow of electrical current in a system. By offering an opposition to current flow, they create a voltage drop that reduces power consumption, prolongs component life, and reduces energy costs. Through hole resistors come in many different types, each offering specific benefits for a variety of applications. One type of through hole resistor is the RSF2WSJR-52-120K.

RSF2WSJR-52-120K Application Field and Working Principle

The RSF2WSJR-52-120K is a power resistor with a resistive value of 120 kilo-ohms (kΩ) and a power rating of 5 watts (W). It is specifically designed to be used in high-power, low-resistor resistance scenarios as a current limiting device or as a voltage or temperature source. The RSF2WSJR-52-120K can be used in a variety of applications, such as digital signal processing, entertainment systems, medical systems, automotive, and industrial control. It has a tin-oxide element, which gives it low noise and high stability, and is also available in other wattages and resistance values.

The working principle of the RSF2WSJR-52-120K is simple. It has two resistive elements in a series circuit, a carbon resistor and a heat sink. The two elements are connected in series so that resistance to current flow is increased by the combined effect of the two components. When current passes through the RSF2WSJR-52-120K, it is dissipated as heat, which is then spread to the surrounding area by the heat sink. This reduces the total system power consumption and allows components to operate at a lower temperature.

The RSF2WSJR-52-120K also offers protection against over-voltage and over-current. This is due to the integrated protective coating, which acts as a barrier against a sudden surge of current or voltage. When a surge is detected, the heating elements will start to dissipate more energy, which will prevent further damage to components.

The RSF2WSJR-52-120K is constructed from high-temperature, flame-retardant materials and it meets the safety requirements of UL 94V-0. It is available in a variety of sizes and shapes, including standard, SWR and ISO packages. It also has a maximum operating temperature of 155°C (330°F).

The RSF2WSJR-52-120K is an ideal component for applications requiring high-power, low-resistance, and temperature stability. Its flame-retardant construction and integrated protective coating make it well-suited for applications where protection from surges and other environmental conditions is critical. It is also reliable and cost-effective, and can be used in a variety of industrial, automotive, medical and consumer electronics applications.
