Description

The 1K Ohm 1/4W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a high-quality electronic component designed for use in a wide range of applications where precise resistance values are needed. This resistor features a resistance of 1,000 Ohms (1KΩ), offering moderate resistance suitable for various low-power electronic circuits and devices.

Key specifications:

• Resistance: 1K Ohms (1,000Ω), ensuring accurate current limiting and voltage division in circuits.
• Power Rating: 1/4 Watt (0.25W), meaning it can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without risk of overheating or failure. This makes it ideal for low-power circuits where higher power ratings are unnecessary.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance may vary within a 5% range from the nominal value. This tolerance level is suitable for most general-purpose applications where absolute precision is not critical.
• Form Factor: Through-hole, meaning the resistor has leads that are designed to be inserted through holes in a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered in place. This ensures a secure mechanical connection and allows for easier repair or replacement.
• Material: Typically constructed from metal oxide or carbon film, providing a stable and durable resistor with good resistance to environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations and humidity.
• Size: Standard dimensions for a 1/4W resistor, typically around 6.0mm in length and 2.0mm in diameter, making it compact and easy to integrate into various electronic assemblies.

This resistor is commonly used in circuits for current limiting, voltage division, filtering, and other applications in consumer electronics, DIY projects, and prototyping. It offers reliable performance and is easily available in most electronic component stores.
