Through Hole Resistors: SQP15AJB-5R1

Through hole resistors are used in various electrical/electronics systems and for many different applications and purposes. Here we look at the SQP15AJB-5R1 through hole resistor.

Application Field

The SQP15AJB-5R1 through hole resistor is intended for use in medium-power, high-frequency and switching power supply applications, including low-noise amplifiers and switch mode power supplies. It can be used for different industrial and musical projects, and it is suitable for the purposes of reducing noise and providing temperature stability.

Thanks to the square construction of the resistor, this can be used for high power linear applications and power management machineries, since it has a good electromechanical reliability and a superior life cycle. Furthermore, SQP15AJB-5R1 can be used in digital board designs, automotive applications and board integrated circuits.

Working Principle

This through hole resistor relies on a basic yet effective principle for its operation. The principle is the same as for common resistors, although the design is slightly different; the resistor is connected at two points, and electric current will have to travel through it, undergoing a voltage drop. The amount of voltage drop is determined by the resistance value of the resistor, and it is measured in units of ohms.

The voltage drop will depend on the electric current and the resistor\'s resistance value. Depending on the size of the resistor, and the application requirements, the resistor may be able to handle more voltage and current. SQP15AJB-5R1 has a higher voltage rating and current capacity than other resistors.

The resistor also works as a heatsink, which is very important when it comes to high-power or switching applications, as it helps to dissipate the heat that is generated when electric current flows through it. This means that the resistor can handle more voltage and current over a given period of time, since the heatsink works to dissipate the heat.

The resistor can be connected in series or parallel to tailor the resistance value; the stronger the connections, the higher the voltage rating and current capacity of the resistor. The resistor also features a maximum working temperature of 125°C, so it can be used in hotter environments, and is suitable for medium-power applications.

Conclusion

The SQP15AJB-5R1 through hole resistor is suitable for a wide variety of applications, from medium-power, high-frequency and switching applications, to low-noise amplifiers and switch mode power supplies. Its ability to dissipate heat thanks to its heatsink makes it suitable for use in hot environments, and its square design makes it compatible for high power linear applications. By properly connecting it in series and parallel, it is possible to tailor the resistance ratings for different applications.
