Description

The 1K5 Ohm (1.5K) 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a high-quality, durable electronic component designed for use in various electronic circuits and applications. This resistor has a resistance value of 1.5K ohms, which is suitable for controlling current flow, voltage division, and limiting current in a range of devices. With a power rating of 2 watts (2W), this resistor is capable of dissipating heat effectively, allowing it to function in medium-power applications without the risk of overheating.

The 5% tolerance specification means that the actual resistance value can vary within a 5% range of the nominal 1.5K ohm rating, ensuring reliable performance in most general-purpose applications. The through-hole mounting style makes it easy to install in a wide range of circuit boards, providing a secure and stable connection. This style is particularly suited for applications where mechanical strength and ease of assembly are important.

The resistor’s construction typically features a robust ceramic or metal-oxide body, providing good thermal stability and resistance to environmental conditions like humidity and high temperatures. It is commonly used in power supplies, amplifiers, signal processing, and any application that requires stable, precise resistance values under moderate power loads.

With its reliable 2W power rating, 5% tolerance, and 1.5K ohm value, this resistor offers an excellent balance of performance and versatility for electronic design, prototyping, and general circuit maintenance.
