Description

The 200K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a precision passive electronic component designed to provide reliable resistance in electronic circuits. With a resistance value of 200,000 ohms (200KΩ), this resistor is typically used in applications where high resistance is needed for current limiting, voltage division, or signal conditioning.

Key Specifications:

• Resistance: 200K ohms (200,000Ω), making it ideal for circuits requiring high impedance.
• Power Rating: 1/4 watt (0.25W), which refers to the maximum amount of power the resistor can safely dissipate without risk of overheating or failure. This makes it suitable for low-power applications.
• Tolerance: 1% tolerance, ensuring that the actual resistance value is within ±1% of the nominal value. This high level of accuracy is important for precision circuits.
• Type: Through Hole, meaning it is designed to be inserted into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered on the opposite side, providing a secure mechanical and electrical connection.
• Construction: Typically made from carbon film or metal oxide materials, providing stability and durability in various environmental conditions.

Applications:

• Voltage Dividers: The 200K ohm resistance value is commonly used in voltage divider circuits for precise control of voltage levels.
• Signal Processing: Ideal for signal conditioning and filtering tasks, as it can provide precise resistance in high-impedance applications.
• Current Limiting: This resistor can be used to limit the current in circuits to protect sensitive components from excessive current flow.
• Audio Equipment: It may also be used in audio circuits for adjusting signal strength or impedance matching.

This resistor is widely used in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial systems, and other applications where precision and reliable performance are required. The through-hole design allows for easy integration into traditional PCB designs and manual assembly, making it a versatile component for both professional and hobbyist engineers.
