Description

A 150K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a standard electronic component designed for use in a wide range of applications, offering precise resistance values and ensuring consistent performance in circuits. This resistor has the following key features:

• Resistance Value: 150,000 Ohms (150KΩ), providing a precise resistance to control the flow of electrical current in a circuit.
• Power Rating: Rated for 1/4 watt (0.25W), meaning it can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or becoming damaged. This makes it suitable for low to medium power applications.
• Tolerance: With a tolerance of 1%, the actual resistance value of this resistor can vary by no more than 1% from its nominal value (150KΩ), ensuring a high degree of accuracy and reliability in precision applications.
• Through-Hole Mounting: Designed for through-hole mounting, this resistor has leads that pass through holes in a PCB (Printed Circuit Board), making it easy to solder and securely connect to the circuit.
• Physical Dimensions: Typically comes in a standard axial lead format with a cylindrical body, often measuring about 6.3mm in diameter and 2.5mm in height. This standard size ensures compatibility with most standard PCBs and components.
• Applications: Commonly used in signal processing, voltage dividers, filtering, current limiting, and other applications requiring precise resistance. Its 1% tolerance makes it ideal for circuits where accuracy is important, such as in audio, instrumentation, or measurement systems.

This resistor is widely available and cost-effective, making it a versatile choice for hobbyists, engineers, and manufacturers designing electronic circuits where space, reliability, and precision are essential.
