Description

The 100K Ohm 1/4W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard electronic component designed to limit the flow of electrical current in a circuit. With a resistance of 100,000 ohms, it offers precise control over the current, ensuring that voltage is reduced to safe levels for sensitive components in the system. The "1/4W" rating refers to the power dissipation capability, meaning the resistor can safely handle up to 1/4 watt of power without overheating or sustaining damage. The 5% tolerance indicates that the resistor's actual resistance can vary by up to 5% from the nominal value, which is common in general-purpose resistors.

This through-hole resistor is designed for easy integration into circuit boards by being inserted into holes on the PCB and soldered in place, ensuring a secure connection. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including signal processing, voltage division, and current limiting. The resistor's durable construction and reliable performance make it ideal for both commercial and hobbyist electronics projects. It is often used in consumer electronics, power supplies, amplifiers, and sensor circuits. This component meets industry standards for quality and reliability, ensuring consistent performance over time and in various environmental conditions.
