WW3JT68R0 Through Hole Resistors Application Field and Working Principle

A through-hole resistor is a type of resistor that is mounted by inserting the device\'s leads with a small pinhole through a PCB (printed circuit board). The resistor is usually a tiny component that can withstand large currents. It is used to manage the flow of power in circuits and control the voltage and current. The most common configurations are axial and radial, although through-hole resistors are available in several different sizes, shapes, and materials.

Application Field

Through-hole resistors are used in a wide variety of applications due to their small size, high power output, and low cost. These resistors are used in electronic devices such as analog amplifiers, power supplies, and other telecommunications components. Also, they are often used in manufacturing of instrumentation and medical devices. They are also commonly used in consumer electronics such as home audio systems, radios, and televisions.

Working Principle

This type of resistor works on the principle of resistance. Resistance is the ability to oppose electrical current flow. Resistor is a device designed to provide specific levels of resistance, or opposition to the flow of current, in an electric circuit. For DC circuits, the basic function of a resistor is to limit the amount of current in the circuit so that the device does not get damaged. For AC circuits, the basic purpose of a resistor is to reduce the amplitude of the current, thus restricting the power supplied to other components of the circuit.

A through-hole resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that has electrical resistance. The operating temperature range of through-hole resistors varies with the type of material used and their power ratings. The resistance of a through-hole resistor is usually expressed in ohms and represented by the letter “R” in circuit diagrams. The voltage rating of a through-hole resistor represents the maximum voltage that can be applied to the resistor without breaking down or incurring any damage.

The main benefit of using through-hole resistors over other resistor types is the ability to mount them easily. Unlike chip resistors, through-hole resistors have two solid leads which are inserted through the PCB material, at a predetermined distance and soldered in place. This makes it easier to mount a through-hole resistor as all operations can be performed before soldering. This also makes it easy to identify through-hole resistors in a schematic.

Conclusion

Through-hole resistors are the most common type of resistor used in electrical circuits and have many different uses. They are used in a variety of applications due to their small size, high power output, and low cost. Through-hole resistors are easy to mount and their resistance is usually expressed in ohms. The voltage rating of a through-hole resistor represents the maximum voltage that can be applied to the resistor without breaking down or incurring any damage.
