The 1K8 Ohm (1.8K) 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a high-quality, durable component used in a variety of electronic applications. With a resistance value of 1.8 kΩ (1,800 ohms), this resistor is designed to limit the current flow in an electrical circuit, providing the necessary control over the voltage and current levels. It features a power rating of 1 watt (1W), which allows it to handle moderate levels of power dissipation without overheating or failure.
The resistor is manufactured with a tolerance of 5%, meaning the actual resistance value can vary within ±5% of the nominal value (1.8 kΩ). This ensures that the resistor can maintain its functionality even under small variations in resistance, making it suitable for a range of circuit designs where exact precision is not critical.
Its through-hole design makes it easy to mount on a PCB (printed circuit board) through pre-drilled holes, offering solid and reliable mechanical connections. This type of resistor is commonly used in power supplies, amplifiers, signal conditioning circuits, and other electronic devices requiring stable and reliable resistive components.
The 1K8 Ohm resistor is typically housed in a cylindrical or axial form factor, and it is often encased in a flame-retardant ceramic body. This casing helps protect the resistor from heat buildup and ensures its long-term reliability. It is also widely used in applications such as LED circuits, voltage dividers, filtering, and current-limiting circuits, providing versatility in different electrical projects.
