WPRT20AB-22RJB270

Chassis Mount Resistors (CMRs) are essential components in almost all electronics. They have been around for decades and have been through several design changes over the years. WPRT20AB-22RJB270 is one such type of CMRs that are available with various values depending on the type of application.

The WPRT20AB-22RJB270 is a cylindrical type of chassis-mount resistor and has a lead-free tin/silver coating for better heat dissipation. It has a resistance value of 27 Ohms and works on a maximum operating temperature of 70°C. It also features a tolerance level of ±20%.

The WPRT20AB-22RJB270 is typically used to limit current flows in order to prevent against over-current conditions. They are often used in the protection circuits of batteries, electric motors, and other power electronics. As current flows through the resistor, its resistance increases, and so the current that’s being limited is based upon its resistance. The resistor also dissipates the additional energy in the form of heat, making it ideal for applications that require high power dissipation.

In addition to its ability to limit current flows, the WPRT20AB-22RJB270 is also ideal for use in AC voltage sensing circuits. It can be used to convert the AC voltage to a DC voltage, which can then be monitored and used for various purposes, such as controlling relay circuits, or providing feedback for automation purposes.

The WPRT20AB-22RJB270 also finds use in various audio circuits, such as microphone preamps, or audio amplifiers. It can be used to reduce the gain of the amplifier, allowing for precise control over the volume or other parameters.

The WPRT20AB-22RJB270 is a versatile component and can be used in a variety of applications, from power electronics protection to audio circuit control. Its resistance and tolerance values, as well as its ability to dissipate heat, make it ideal for many different applications.
