Through Hole Resistors Application Field and Working Principle

Through Hole Resistors are one of the most common electrical components used in the industry today. They are extensively used in a variety of areas ranging from power control, circuit protection, signal conditioning, to circuit protection. A basic understanding of the application fields and its working principle is essential for proper installation and reliable operation.

Introduction

A Through Hole Resistor is a type of resistor that is mounted through a hole in the printed circuit board (PCB). The component is thus held in place by two contact points to the board, with the rest of the body of the resistor extending through the board. Through hole resistors are normally constructed with the body of the resistor parallel to the board, but can also be constructed with the body perpendicular to the board. The through hole resistors are designed to protect or condition an electric circuit from counter induced current by providing a path for the electrical current.

Application Fields

Through Hole Resistors are used in a variety of applications ranging from home appliances, power control, signal conditioning, circuit protection, and even in the automotive industry. In power control, the resistor is commonly used to regulate the amount of current that flows through the circuit. It is also used with the assistance of transistors as a voltage regulator. In the automotive industry, it is primarily used to control the voltage of the headlamp bulbs. In signal conditioning, the resistor is used to filter out excess and unwanted noise and other undesired signals from the electrical circuit. It is also used with the assistance of transistors for impedance matching in the signal conditioning applications, which helps to strengthen the signal accuracy and clarity. Finally, it is widely used in the circuit protection applications, where it works to limit the current and protect the circuit from damage caused by the excessive current.

Working Principles

The basic working principle of a through hole resistor is based on Ohm’s law, which states that ‘the current passing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage potential difference between those two points’. In practice, the resistor works to reduce the voltage and current that flows through the circuit. This is done by increasing the resistance value, in a given electrical circuit. The resistor will also work to reduce the total power dissipated through the circuit by dissipating the energy as heat. It is important to note that the amount of current and voltage that the resistor can reduce in a given circuit is dependent on its resistance value.

Conclusion

The above information provides an overview on the application fields and working principle of a Through Hole Resistor. Through Hole Resistors are versatile electrical components that are commonly used in the industry today, and can be used in a variety of areas from power control, signal conditioning, and circuit protection. The resistor works to reduce the current and voltage that passes through the circuit, by increasing its resistance value. It is essential to choose the correct resistor for the application in order to ensure reliable operation and safety.
