Description

The 20K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a high-precision, fixed electronic component used to limit or control the flow of electric current in various circuits. With a resistance value of 20,000 ohms, this resistor is suitable for applications where a moderate level of resistance is needed.

• Resistance Value: 20K ohms, which makes it ideal for tasks requiring medium resistance in signal and power circuits.
• Power Rating: Rated for 1/4 watt (0.25W), indicating its capacity to handle moderate power dissipation without overheating. It is perfect for general-purpose applications and ensures that the resistor operates safely within the typical power demands of most standard electronics.
• Tolerance: Featuring a tight tolerance of 1%, this resistor guarantees high precision, ensuring that its actual resistance value remains within 1% of the specified 20K ohms. This is crucial in circuits where accuracy is important, such as in signal processing, analog circuitry, or measurement systems.
• Type: Through-hole technology, which means the resistor is designed for insertion into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) for secure soldering. This makes it easy to integrate into various circuit boards and is common in both consumer electronics and industrial products.
• Construction: The resistor is built with a metal oxide film, providing stability and reliability across a wide range of temperatures and operating conditions. The resistor’s body is typically color-coded for easy identification of its resistance value.
• Applications: It is widely used in analog electronics, voltage dividers, current-limiting circuits, and as part of feedback loops or filters in audio, power supply, and sensor-based systems.

This 20K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is an essential component for designers who need consistent, reliable performance in their electronic projects or products. Its combination of precision, durability, and ease of integration makes it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
