The 1K5 Ohm (1.5K) 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard, high-quality electrical component designed to provide resistance in various electronic circuits. It is built to endure higher power levels, as it can handle up to 1 watt of power dissipation, making it ideal for both low and medium-power applications. With a resistance value of 1.5K ohms (1500 ohms), this resistor can be used to limit or regulate current flow, set voltages, or create voltage dividers within circuits.
The 5% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance may vary by up to 5% from the specified value, which is typical for most general-purpose resistors. This is suitable for a wide range of applications where exact resistance precision is not critical but reliability and durability are essential.
Designed with through-hole mounting, this resistor features lead wires that pass through the PCB (printed circuit board), allowing for a secure physical connection and robust electrical contact. It is commonly used in hobbyist projects, prototyping, consumer electronics, and industrial applications where standard resistance values are needed.
This resistor is constructed using a durable ceramic or metal oxide body that can handle thermal stress, ensuring longevity and stability under normal operating conditions. It is suitable for use in circuits requiring a balance between performance, cost, and reliability. Whether used in analog or digital circuits, the 1K5 Ohm (1.5K) 1W 5% resistor is a versatile and reliable choice.
