Description

The 180 Ohm 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a high-performance, durable resistor commonly used in electronic circuits and devices. It is designed to provide resistance of 180 ohms with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual resistance can vary within a 5% range from the nominal value. This resistor has a power rating of 2 watts, indicating that it can safely dissipate up to 2 watts of power without overheating or failing.

The through-hole design of this resistor ensures that it is ideal for mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs), where it is soldered through holes to provide stable and reliable connections. The resistor is made from high-quality materials such as a ceramic or metal oxide core, which contribute to its long lifespan and high thermal stability. Its compact size and reliable performance make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including power supplies, signal conditioning, filtering, voltage dividers, and current limiting in various consumer, industrial, and automotive electronics.

With a tolerance of 5%, this resistor offers a balance between accuracy and cost-effectiveness, making it a popular choice for applications where precise resistance values are not critically important. Additionally, its robust construction ensures that it can withstand higher temperatures and power surges compared to standard resistors, ensuring dependable operation even in demanding environments.

This 180 Ohm resistor is typically available in standard axial form, meaning it has two leads extending from either end of the component for easy integration into PCB designs. It meets industry standards for reliability and performance, making it suitable for both professional and DIY electronics projects.
