Description

The 10K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a high-precision electronic component designed for use in a variety of circuit applications where accuracy and reliability are crucial. This resistor has a resistance value of 10,000 ohms (10KΩ), which makes it ideal for controlling current flow in a circuit. It is rated for 1/4 watt (0.25W) of power dissipation, meaning it can safely handle up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or becoming damaged.

The resistor's 1% tolerance ensures that its actual resistance value will deviate no more than 1% from the nominal value of 10KΩ, providing a high degree of precision and reliability for most electronics projects. This makes it suitable for applications in sensitive signal processing, audio circuits, analog systems, and more, where consistent performance is essential.

The through-hole mounting design allows for easy integration into both professional and hobbyist circuit boards. The leads of this resistor are designed to fit through holes in a PCB (printed circuit board), where they can be soldered to ensure a secure electrical connection. This type of resistor is commonly used in prototyping and mass-production electronic devices, offering versatility and compatibility with various types of boards.

The component is typically made from durable, heat-resistant materials such as metal oxide or carbon film, ensuring long-lasting performance even in challenging environmental conditions. It is also available in a standard package size, making it easy to handle and work with during assembly. The 10K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a staple component for both beginner electronics enthusiasts and experienced engineers, providing an affordable, reliable solution for achieving precise resistance values in a wide range of electrical circuits.
