Description

A 10M Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a precision electronic component that offers a resistance of 10 million ohms (10MΩ), commonly used in a wide range of electronic circuits. It has a power rating of 1/4 watt (0.25W), meaning it can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without risk of overheating or failure. The 1% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance value will deviate no more than 1% from the nominal value of 10MΩ, providing a high degree of accuracy for most applications.

This resistor features a through-hole design, which means it is intended for insertion into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) during the soldering process, making it ideal for prototyping or high-reliability assemblies. The through-hole form factor ensures a secure, durable connection between the resistor and the PCB, providing excellent mechanical strength.

The resistor is often used in circuits requiring precise control of current flow and voltage regulation, such as signal conditioning, voltage dividers, filtering applications, and more. It is well-suited for both professional-grade and hobbyist projects, providing reliability in industrial, automotive, consumer electronics, and other electronic systems. The resistor’s high resistance value of 10MΩ makes it suitable for applications where very small currents are involved or where the resistor must not interfere with the functioning of high-impedance circuits.

Typically, the 10M Ohm 1/4W 1% resistor comes in a standard cylindrical body with color bands representing its resistance value, tolerance, and reliability. It can be used in both low and medium-frequency applications and is manufactured with high-quality materials to ensure long-term durability and stability under normal operating conditions.
