WW12FT475R Through Hole Resistors
WW12FT475R is a type of through-hole resistor used for various applications such as voltage regulation and thermal management in electronic devices. Unlike its surface-mount cousins, these through-hole resistors possess bigger size and greater number of pins which mean that they possess much higher power ratings. This power rating and the size of the device make it invaluable in a variety of applications.
Application Field
WW12FT475R is used in a variety of applications, however, it is mainly used for voltage and current regulation. It is used in simple circuits to regulate current draw and to limit the voltage available. This makes it quite valuable in circuits that require constant voltage regulation or resistance. Another common application of this resistor is for thermal management. To dissipate excessive heat it is used in power circuits and anywhere else where a large amount of thermal energy needs to be dissipated.
Working Principle
A WW12FT475R resistor works by essentially reducing electric current flow by introducing resistance into the circuit. It is a resistor configured to perform a specific purpose and its effectiveness can be measured by the wattage rating of the device (e.g. a 1 watt resistor is capable of dissipating 1 watt of thermal energy). The wattage rating of the resistor coupled with its size ensures that the resistor is able to perform its designated function with efficacy.
Conclusion
The WW12FT475R through-hole resistor is a simple and effective device used to regulate voltage and current in simple circuits, and also to dissipate thermal energy in more demanding applications. Its ratings and size makes it a valuable tool and it can be found in a variety of electronic devices requiring a constant voltage or resistance.
