Description

The 220K Ohm 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component designed to limit the amount of current that flows through a circuit by providing a specific level of resistance. It features a resistance value of 220,000 ohms (220KΩ), which is ideal for circuits that require moderate current limitation. With a 1/8 watt power rating, this resistor is designed to handle power dissipation up to 0.125 watts, making it suitable for low-power applications.

The 5% tolerance specification indicates that the actual resistance may vary by up to 5% from the nominal value, allowing for slight deviations in its performance. This tolerance is common in general-purpose resistors, offering a good balance between cost and accuracy for many electronic applications.

This resistor has a through-hole mounting style, which means it is designed to be inserted into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered in place. This mounting type is commonly used in traditional PCB designs where manual assembly or through-hole technology (THT) is employed. It has a cylindrical shape, with the ends designed for lead-based soldering, ensuring a stable and durable connection within the circuit.

This 220K ohm resistor is widely used in a variety of electronic circuits, including voltage dividers, filters, current limiting applications, and biasing components for transistors and other active devices. It is a versatile and reliable component in many DIY projects, repair work, and professional electronics designs.
