Description

The 1K5 Ohm (1.5K) 1/4W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a high-quality, precision resistor designed for a variety of electronic applications. With a resistance value of 1.5K ohms (1500 ohms), it is ideal for circuits requiring a moderate level of resistance, suitable for both signal and power control. The 1/4 watt (0.25W) power rating ensures that it can handle the typical power dissipation found in everyday circuits without overheating, making it a great choice for general-purpose applications.

This resistor features a tolerance of 5%, meaning the actual resistance value can vary by up to 5% from the nominal value, which is common in many standard applications where precision is not critical. However, the accuracy of the resistor is sufficient for most general electronic tasks, including use in passive filtering, voltage division, and current limiting.

The through-hole design makes it suitable for insertion into a traditional printed circuit board (PCB) or breadboard, where it can be easily soldered for a secure and stable connection. This type of mounting is favored for DIY projects, prototyping, and repairs. The resistor’s robust construction ensures long-term reliability and consistent performance in diverse conditions, while its size and design make it compatible with a wide range of electronic components and circuits.

This resistor is commonly used in applications such as audio equipment, sensors, lighting control circuits, and power supplies. Its versatility, affordability, and ease of integration make it an essential component in hobbyist and professional electronics alike.
