SR10-0.020-1% Resistors

Through Hole Resistors

The SR10-0.020-1% is a type of through hole resistor, one of the most common components in electrical engineering. The through hole resistor is composed of resistive material and has an electrical connection on each side. When an electric current passes through the resistor, a certain amount of voltage is dropped across the resistor due to its resistance. This voltage drop creates a resistance value, which can then be used to reduce the total voltage of a circuit.

Application Field

Through hole resistors are very versatile components and can be used in various applications. They can be used for simple voltage dropping, as well as in high power applications. They are commonly used as current-limiting resistors, to reduce the voltage of a circuit before it enters a sensitive component, such as a microcontroller or a temperature sensor. They can also be used for signal conditioning, such as creating a voltage divider. These resistors can be found in automotive electronics, industrial automation, and audio equipment.

Working Principle

The SR10-0.020-1% is a type of through hole resistor with a maximum working voltage of 250 volts. It features a rated resistance value of 0.020 ohms and a tolerance of 1%. It is constructed using carbon film, which is a material which is resistant to heat and moisture. The resistance of the resistor is determined by the length and width of the resistive material, as well as the type of material used. When voltage is applied to the resistor, electrons move through the resistive material. As the electrons move, energy is dissipated, creating a voltage drop across the resistor.
