A 100 Ohm 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a commonly used electronic component that offers reliable performance for various circuit applications. It features a resistance value of 100 Ohms, making it suitable for controlling current flow and achieving specific voltage drop levels within a circuit. With a power rating of 1 Watt (W), it is capable of dissipating heat effectively without risk of overheating, ensuring durability and longevity when used in low to moderate power applications.
The resistor's tolerance is 5%, indicating that the actual resistance can vary by 5% above or below the nominal value of 100 Ohms. This makes it a standard choice for non-critical applications where slight variations in resistance will not affect the overall performance of the circuit.
Designed with through-hole technology, this resistor has metal leads that are inserted into holes in a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered into place. This makes it easy to use in both hand-soldered and automated assembly processes. The resistor is built with a ceramic body, which helps ensure stability and heat resistance, further enhancing its reliability in various environments.
Typical applications for this resistor include current-limiting, voltage division, and signal conditioning in electronic devices, power supplies, and amplifiers. Its robust construction, stable resistance, and versatility make it a popular choice for hobbyists, engineers, and designers working on a wide range of electronics projects.
