Description

The 15K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a precision electronic component designed for use in a wide range of electronic circuits. It has a resistance value of 15,000 Ohms (15K Ω), which determines the amount of opposition it provides to electrical current. This resistor is rated for a power dissipation of 1/4 watt (0.25W), meaning it can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of electrical power as heat without being damaged. The 1% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance value will be within 1% of the specified 15K Ohms, ensuring accuracy in applications where precision is required.

This resistor features a through-hole mounting style, meaning it is designed to be inserted into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered in place. This is the traditional mounting type used in older and more rugged designs. The through-hole design provides durability and makes the resistor suitable for use in both professional and hobbyist electronics projects.

With its stable electrical properties, this resistor is ideal for use in a variety of applications such as signal conditioning, voltage dividers, and other circuits where precise resistance is necessary for correct operation. The resistor is often used in audio, control systems, and other analog or digital systems where small adjustments to voltage or current are needed. This 15K Ohm resistor’s reliability, tolerance, and power handling capabilities make it an essential component for maintaining consistent performance in electronic circuits.
