Description

The 200K Ohm 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a precision electronic component designed to offer resistance in electronic circuits. This resistor has a resistance value of 200,000 ohms (200KΩ), making it suitable for applications requiring a relatively high resistance. It can withstand up to 1/8 watt (0.125W) of power dissipation, meaning it's best for low-power applications where minimal heat is generated. With a 5% tolerance, the actual resistance value can vary by up to 5% from the stated 200KΩ, offering a balance between precision and cost.

This resistor is designed for through-hole mounting, which means it has leads that pass through holes in a printed circuit board (PCB), offering secure and reliable physical connections. These resistors are often used in signal processing, voltage division, filtering, and various other circuits where high resistance is required. The through-hole design ensures durability and easier manual soldering, making it a good choice for both prototypes and mass production.

The resistor is typically constructed with a carbon film or metal film element, providing a stable and long-lasting resistance performance over time. This specific resistor is ideal for applications in consumer electronics, instrumentation, audio equipment, and other electronic devices where precise current regulation or signal attenuation is needed.
