RSMF1JA2K70

Through hole resistors, specifically the RSMF1JA2K70, are resistors that have been attached to printed circuit boards (PCBs) by means of drilled mounting holes through the topside surface of the board. These devices act as an electrical connection between two conductors or tracks on the board, preventing an excessive current flow and maintaining the proper voltage level.

The RSMF1JA2K70 is a type of resistor that is commonly used in a variety of common applications. Its main purpose is to limit the current flow in circuits by providing a resistance value that affects the amount of current that can pass through it. This keeps the voltage levels in the circuit consistent and prevents any damage from over-voltage. These resistors can be used to regulate the current in LED displays, dimmers, temperature sensors, and digital circuits.

The construction of the RSMF1JA2K70 includes a ceramic body, two resistive elements that are encased in a non-conductive material, and two sets of metal plates. The resistive elements are attached to the metal plates, forming the resistor’s impedance, and the non-conductive material, which protects the resistors from electrostatic discharge, cements the two resistors together. The metal plates are then soldered to the PCB, which creates the connection between the components.

The working principle of the RSMF1JA2K70 is relatively simple. When current passes through the device, it encounters resistance that decreases the voltage. The efficacy of a resistor is measured in ohms, which is the unit for measuring electrical resistance. The higher the ohm value of the resistor, the greater the resistance and the lower the current will be. Conversely, lower ohm resistors offer lower resistance and can accommodate higher current.

The RSMF1JA2K70 is a reliable and efficient resistor that is used in many manufacturing applications and can be found in a variety of electric and electronic products. It is simple to install and requires no maintenance. By understanding its application field and working principle, you can ensure that you are using the right resistor for the job.
