USF371-20.0M-0.1%-5PPM

Through Hole Resistors are an important type of resistor used in electrical engineering. The USF371-20.0M-0.1%-5PPM resistor is a perfect example of such resistors. It is a resistive component of through-hole type, composed of two thin film metallized layers, and is able to manage a given value, i.e. 20.0MΩ, in order to provide a given resistance to the passing electric current.

This particular model of through-hole resistor is featured by a tolerance of 0.1% and a temperature coefficient of 5ppm/°C. Other characteristics includes a power rating of 0.125W at +70°C, a maximum working voltage of 350V for DC and 250Vrms for AC, an insulation resistance at 500VDC of 100MΩ Min and a flammability rate according to UL94V-0.

Through-hole resistors are mostly used in electronic circuits due to their robust and reliable construction. USF371-20.0M-0.1%-5PPM resistors, in particular, are suitable for applications in which a high precision is required. For example, these kinds of resistors are perfect for bridge networks, phase splitting network applications, control circuits, linear circuits, instantaneous current limiting, etc.

From a more technical point of view, the USF371-20.0M-0.1%-5PPM resistor works by limiting the amount of electric current that is passing through it. This is done through a process called resistance. This process is achieved by the material which the resistor is made from, this material having a certain Ohmic value which limits the amount of electric current passing through it. The length, size, shape and material of the resistor will all have an impact on the amount of resistance it is able to create, as well as its tolerance.

In summary, USF371-20.0M-0.1%-5PPM, is a through-hole resistor that is mostly used in high precision applications due to its features. It is a resistive component made of two thin film metallized layers, which provides a certain resistance to the passing electric current of 20.0MΩ, 0.1% tolerance and 5ppm/°C. In order to achieve this kind of resistance, the resistor works through a process called resistance, managed by the materials it is made of.
