Description

A 15 Ohm 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a compact, general-purpose electronic component designed to provide precise resistance in electrical circuits. With a resistance value of 15 ohms, it is well-suited for applications requiring low resistance to limit current, divide voltages, or fine-tune signals.

Features:

1. Resistance Value: 15 ohms ±5% tolerance, ensuring the actual resistance lies between 14.25 ohms and 15.75 ohms.
2. Power Rating: 1/8 watt (0.125W), suitable for low-power circuits, ensuring durability under minimal current and heat conditions.
3. Tolerance: 5% tolerance rating allows for moderate precision, making it ideal for non-critical or cost-sensitive designs.
4. Form Factor: Through-hole design for easy insertion into printed circuit boards (PCBs), ensuring secure soldering and reliability.
5. Construction: Typically made of carbon film or metal film with an insulating coating to protect against environmental factors and enhance durability.
6. Temperature Range: Operates effectively in a wide range of temperatures, usually between -55°C to +155°C.
7. Standard Leads: Long, tin-plated copper leads compatible with standard PCB holes, ensuring good electrical connectivity.

Applications:

• Used in educational projects and prototyping for beginners.
• Current limiting in LED circuits.
• Signal conditioning or noise reduction in audio and RF circuits.
• Voltage divider networks in analog and digital electronics.
• Biasing resistors in amplifier circuits.

This resistor is a cost-effective solution for reliable performance in a wide variety of low-power electronic devices and hobbyist projects. Its through-hole design and 5% tolerance make it a practical choice for both manual assembly and soldering.
