Through Hole Resistors: RWM0410R100JR15E1 application field and working principle

A through hole resistor is a common type of resistor used in electronics circuits. It is a passive two-terminal electronic component with a resistance value in ohms. It uses a conductive material as its resistance element which is electrically connected between two terminals. In short, it resists the current flow from one terminal to another.

RWM0410R100JR15E1 is a through-hole resistor that has the following specifications: resistance value of 100 Ohms, tolerance of 15%, operating temperature range of -55°C to +155°C, power dissipation of 0.1W, and maximum voltage between the terminals of 6V.

Application fields

RWM0410R100JR15E1 is mainly used in automotive, medical, aerospace, defense, and consumer electronics applications. It can be used to protect sensitive components from overcurrents in circuits such as power converters, power supplies, and inverters. The resistor also provides signal conditioning for various types of sensors and actuators, limiting the current of LED lights, and for voltage regulation.

Working principle

The working principle of RWM0410R100JR15E1 is quite simple. When current from one terminal passes through the resistor, it generates a voltage drop between two terminals due to the resistance of the resistor. This voltage drop is related to the current passing through the resistor and the resistance value of the resistor (Ohm\'s Law: I = V/R). The resistance value of the resistor determines how much current can pass through it, hence limiting the current.

RWM0410R100JR15E1 is a through-hole resistor and has a much higher power rating than SMD resistors. Its features make it suitable for automotive and other high-temperature applications that require a high power rating. The rugged construction of the resistor also ensures a long lifetime and reliable performance.
