Description

The 1K8 Ohm (1.8K) 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a high-quality electronic component designed to provide precise and reliable resistance for a wide range of electronic circuits. With a resistance value of 1.8 kilohms (1.8K), it is commonly used in applications where moderate resistance is required for current limiting, voltage division, or filtering purposes.

This resistor has a power rating of 2 watts (2W), meaning it can safely dissipate up to 2 watts of electrical power without overheating or getting damaged. The 5% tolerance rating indicates that the actual resistance value of this resistor can vary by ±5% from the nominal 1.8K Ohms, making it suitable for many standard circuits where precise resistance is not critical.

The "through-hole" design means that the resistor has leads that are inserted into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) and then soldered into place, making it ideal for use in traditional electronics or hobbyist projects. It is built to withstand normal wear and tear, ensuring a long lifespan in various electronic devices, from power supplies to audio equipment to general-purpose circuitry.

The durable construction ensures that it maintains its integrity under typical operating conditions, while the resistor's compact size allows for easy integration into existing circuit designs. The 1K8 Ohm (1.8K) 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is often used in both industrial and consumer electronics, offering a balance between performance, reliability, and cost.
