The WW12RR001FTL is a chip resistor manufactured by Walsin Technology Corporation. Chip resistors, also known as surface mount resistors (SMD resistors), are small, rectangular passive components used to provide a specific amount of electrical resistance in electronic circuits. The 'WW' likely indicates the series of the resistor, '12' relates to the size (e.g., 1206), and 'RR001' defines the resistance value of 0.1 ohms. 'FTL' refers to the tolerance and packaging.
Applications:
- Power Supplies: Used as current sensing resistors in power supply circuits.
- Voltage Dividers: Used in voltage divider circuits to provide a specific voltage output.
- Current Limiting: Used to limit current in LED lighting and other electronic circuits.
- Signal Termination: Used as termination resistors to reduce signal reflections in high-speed circuits.
- Filtering: Used in filter circuits to attenuate unwanted frequencies.
Features:
- Small Size: Compact size allows for high-density placement on circuit boards.
- Surface Mount Technology (SMT): Designed for automated assembly using SMT equipment.
- Stable Resistance: Provides a consistent and reliable resistance value over a wide range of operating conditions.
- Low Temperature Coefficient: Minimal resistance change with temperature variations.
- RoHS Compliant: Complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive.
Benefits:
- Space Savings: Small size allows for efficient use of board space.
- Cost-Effective: Provides a low-cost solution for adding resistance to circuits.
- Reliable Performance: Provides stable and consistent performance over time.
- Easy to Assemble: Designed for automated assembly, reducing manufacturing costs.
- Environmentally Friendly: RoHS compliance ensures minimal environmental impact.
The WW12RR001FTL has a resistance value of 0.1 Ohms. The '12' in the part number usually indicates the size of the resistor package. Common sizes include 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, etc. The larger the number, the bigger the package. This part is likely a 1206 package. Surface mount resistors are made of a ceramic substrate with a resistive layer deposited on top. Metal terminals are then attached to the ends of the resistor to allow for soldering to the circuit board. The tolerance will be specified in the datasheet from Walsin, but typically, FTL indicates a tight tolerance. These chip resistors are widely used in modern electronic devices due to their small size, high reliability, and ease of assembly.
