Chassis Mount Resistors

Chassis mount resistors are used to provide electrical resistance to current passing through them in electrical circuits. This is often done to measure, adjust, or limit the current in a circuit in order to protect other components from damage due to overloads or short-circuits. The most common types of chassis mount resistors are printed circuit board (PCB) mount, bus mount, and non-mountable types.

The TMC0501K000FE02 chassis mount resistor is a PCB mount type with a thru-hole design. It is constructed of a high-quality, low-temperature-coefficient resistance element and is rated to handle up to 3 milli-Amps of current. The maximum voltage that it can handle is 70V. It is available in multiple resistance values ranging from 0.5 ohms to 1K ohms.

Application Field

The TMC0501K000FE02 chassis mount resistor is commonly used in various electrical and electronic circuits. It is suitable for powering small motors and LED lights, signal conditioning, regulating motor speed, and timing in various applications. It is also used in automotive control and industrial systems as well as audio-video equipment to add resistance into circuits. In addition, it is suitable for monitoring the current load of individual components and dissipating heat in order to protect other components from potential damage.

Working Principle

The TMC0501K000FE02 chassis mount resistor works by providing electrical resistance in a circuit in order to reduce the current flowing through it. The strength of the resistance is determined by the type of resistor, its size, and its material. In this case, the resistance is provided by the high-quality, low-temperature-coefficient resistance element, which is designed to provide a consistent resistance across a wide range of temperatures. The amount of resistance is determined by the resistance value that is printed on the resistor.

When current flows through the resistor, some of this energy is converted to heat due to electrical resistance. This is known as power dissipation and is measured in watts. Heat dissipation is important to prevent damage to other components in the circuit due to excessive current. The TMC0501K000FE02 is designed with a maximum power rating of 1 watt, ensuring that it can dissipate heat effectively without damaging other components.
