Description

A 22K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a passive electronic component designed to limit or regulate the current flow in an electrical circuit. This resistor has a resistance value of 22,000 Ohms (22KΩ), which means it resists the flow of electrical current by this amount, providing control over the current.

• Power Rating (1/4W or 0.25W): The resistor can dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power safely without overheating or failing. This is a common power rating for small to medium-sized resistors used in standard applications like signal conditioning and voltage division.

• Tolerance (1%): The resistor has a 1% tolerance, meaning the actual resistance can vary by 1% from its nominal value of 22KΩ. This level of precision is suitable for most general-purpose applications where a moderate level of accuracy is sufficient.

• Through Hole Design: The resistor features through-hole mounting, meaning it has two leads that are inserted through holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered in place. This type of resistor is often used in older or larger circuit boards, or in designs where stronger mechanical connections are needed.

• Size and Form Factor: The 1/4W rating corresponds to a typical standard axial-lead resistor size, which typically measures around 6.5mm in length and 2mm in diameter. This makes it compact yet capable of handling power dissipation in low to moderate power applications.

The 22K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is widely used in various applications, such as audio equipment, voltage dividers, signal processing circuits, and other general-purpose uses where stable, moderate resistance is required. Its durable design, precision, and ease of integration make it a staple in the world of electronic componentry.
