Description

The 1K5 Ohm (1.5K) 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a precision electronic component designed for use in a wide variety of applications, including circuit boards and other electronic devices. This resistor has a nominal resistance value of 1.5 kilohms (1K5), meaning it limits the current flowing through a circuit based on its resistance value according to Ohm's law. It has a power rating of 1/4 watt (0.25W), which specifies the maximum amount of power the resistor can safely dissipate without overheating.

The resistor is built with a 1% tolerance, which means that its actual resistance value will be within 1% of the nominal value (1.5K ohms). This ensures high accuracy in precise circuit designs, where small variations in resistance can significantly affect performance. It uses a through-hole design, which is ideal for older or more traditional circuit board designs that involve inserting the resistor’s leads into holes on the board and soldering them on the opposite side.

This component is made with high-quality materials to ensure durability, reliability, and consistent performance over time, even in demanding environments. It’s suitable for use in low-power circuits, signal processing, filtering, and voltage regulation applications, where its small form factor and dependable electrical properties make it an essential part of many electronic designs. Additionally, this resistor is commonly used in various consumer electronics, communication devices, and automotive applications.

The 1K5 Ohm (1.5K) 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is typically used in applications where precise current control is required, and it helps maintain the integrity of the electrical circuit by regulating voltage and current with minimal power loss.
