A 150K Ohm 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component used to limit or regulate the current flow in a circuit. This resistor has a resistance value of 150,000 Ohms (150KΩ), meaning it restricts the flow of electrical current to a level determined by Ohm’s law (V = IR). With a power rating of 1 watt (1W), it can safely dissipate up to 1 watt of power without overheating or failing. The 5% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance can vary by up to 5% from the nominal value of 150K Ohms, offering a standard degree of precision.
The through-hole design refers to the component's leads, which are intended to be inserted into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) for soldering, making it ideal for both hand-assembly and automated PCB manufacturing processes. The resistor is made from high-quality materials such as carbon film or metal oxide, offering durability, stability, and reliable performance in a range of electronic applications. This type of resistor is commonly used in circuits where high resistance is needed to control current, such as voltage dividers, biasing networks, signal processing, and filtering applications in consumer electronics, industrial systems, and automotive electronics.
With its robust construction, the 150K Ohm 1W resistor is built to handle the required voltage and power loads, ensuring the safety and longevity of the device in the circuit. The resistor's compact and durable design also contributes to its reliability in demanding environments, making it a versatile component for both professional engineers and hobbyists in a variety of electronic projects.
