Chassis Mount Resistors

The TMC0101R000FE02 belongs to a variety of chassis mount resistors commonly available in the market. Chassis mount resistors are resistors that are designed to mount directly on the frame or chassis of the electronic equipment, rather than inside the printed circuit boards (PCBs). They are also sometimes referred to as mounting resistors. In addition to the chassis mount resistors, there are many other types of resistors, including non-mounting resistors, surface mount resistors, printed circuit board resistors, chip resistors, and wirewound resistors.

Applications

Chassis mount resistors are mainly used in industrial and commercial applications where the electronic system has to withstand different types of environmental conditions. They are typically used in the control systems of factories, automotive systems, medical instruments, communications systems, and various types of machinery. The high temperature and vibration resistance capabilities make them suitable for harsh environmental conditions and they can be used in safety-critical applications.

Moreover, due to their ability to have wider power dissipation ratings, they are often used in CPUs, power supplies, and high-speed audio amplifiers. In addition, they can be used in military and aerospace applications as well, due to their ability to withstand extreme temperatures. They are also used in areas where temperature fluctuations or high temperatures are constant, such as in engines.

Working Principle

The working principle of a chassis mount resistor is simple. It is basically a resistive device, which either reduces or completely blocks the electric current flowing through it. In addition, the resistor has a dynamic impedance property, which means that its resistance changes according to the frequency and voltage of the applied signal.

Chassis mount resistors can be classified into single-layer, dual-layer, multi-layer, or conductive plastics depending on the type of material used and its construction method. In most cases, the resistor is constructed with a copper film and an insulating layer, and it is usually coated with either an epoxy or polyester varnish. The coating insulates the resistor from the chassis and helps to protect it from shock and vibration.

These resistors are designed in a variety of shapes and sizes, including round, square, rectangular, oval, and elliptical. The size of the resistor depends on the application and varies from small to large, from thin film resistors to large, bulky resistors. Chassis mount resistors also come in various power ratings, from a few milliwatts to several watts.

Conclusion

The TMC0101R000FE02 belongs to the variety of chassis mount resistors. They are designed to mount on the chassis or frame of the electronic equipment, and they are widely used in industrial and commercial applications because of their high temperature and vibration resistance capabilities, as well as their ability to withstand extreme temperatures. They come in various sizes, shapes, and power ratings, and are either single, dual, or multi-layer, or made of conductive plastics.
