Through Hole Resistors

Through Hole Resistors are one of the most common electronic components used in many industrial and commercial applications. They are low-cost, highly accurate, and offer a wide range of resistance values. The resistor can be used to control the current flow in a circuit, to redistribute or divide voltage, and to provide bias to transistors or other components.

The resistor consists of three basic components: an insulating substrate, a resistive element, and a lead or contact. The insulating substrate is typically a ceramic or phenolic material, while the resistive element is usually a carbon material, metal oxide, or metal. The lead or contact is usually made of brass or copper and is what contacts to the circuit board. A fourth component, commonly referred to as the “body” or “shell” of the resistor, is what encases and protects the other components from the environment.

Working Principle

The working principle of Through Hole Resistors is relatively simple. When current flows through the resistor, electrons interact with atoms in the resistive element that create an electric field resulting in a voltage drop across the resistor. Basically, the resistance of the component is what determines the amount of current that can pass through it.

The amount of resistance of the component is measured in ohms. Ohms describe the amount of resistance the component will produce for a given amount of voltage. A higher resistance value will result in a higher voltage drop across the component, while a lower resistance value will result in a smaller voltage drop.

Application Fields

The Through Hole Resistor is used in a variety of applications, ranging from industrial automation and robotics, to automotive, medical, communications, and consumer electronics. In industrial automation, the current limiting capabilities of the resistor can be used to limit the power supplied to a motor or to control the speed of a motor. In automotive applications, the resistors can be used to limit the flow of current to control lights, as well as in spark plug ignition systems.

In medical applications, Through Hole Resistors can be used to limit the current on a circuit. In communications, the resistors can be used to limit the current supplied to voice coils or antennas. In consumer electronics, the resistors can be used to control the voltage across a circuit. The resistor can also be used to balance the power supplied to a circuit.

Conclusion

All in all, Through Hole Resistors are a critical component in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, offering excellent accuracy, low-cost, and a wide range of resistance values. The resistor is typically made from a ceramic or phenolic substrate, for a resistive element, and a brass or copper contact for the lead or contact. The working principle is based on current flowing through the resistor, resulting in an electric field and voltage drop across the resistor. Different application fields make use of the current limiting capabilities of the resistor, including in industrial automation, automotive, medical, communications, and consumer electronics.
