Description

The 220K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component designed to resist the flow of electrical current in a circuit. With a resistance value of 220,000 ohms (220K), it offers precise control over current, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications, including signal conditioning, voltage division, and biasing circuits.

Key specifications:

• Resistance: 220K ohms, offering accurate impedance for controlling current flow.
• Power Rating: 1/4 watt (0.25W), indicating the maximum amount of power the resistor can dissipate safely without overheating or damage.
• Tolerance: 1%, which means the actual resistance value can vary by ±1% from the nominal value, ensuring precise and consistent performance in critical applications.
• Construction: Through-hole type, designed for insertion into standard PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), where the leads are passed through holes and soldered on the opposite side for secure mounting.
• Material: Typically composed of a carbon composition, metal oxide, or metal film, depending on the exact type, to ensure durability and reliability in electronic circuits.
• Size: This resistor generally comes in a standard 5mm diameter and length suitable for a variety of through-hole mounting configurations.

This resistor is ideal for general-purpose use, offering precision and stability in applications such as voltage regulation, filtering, and current limiting in consumer electronics, telecommunications, and industrial devices. With its 1% tolerance, it is commonly chosen for circuits where small variations in resistance can impact performance, such as in high-accuracy analog or digital systems.
