Description

The 240K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a high-precision electronic component designed for use in a wide range of electronic circuits. This resistor has a nominal resistance value of 240,000 ohms, making it ideal for applications that require a specific resistance for voltage division, signal processing, or limiting current flow in the circuit. The "1/4W" rating indicates that the resistor can safely dissipate up to 1/4 watt of power without overheating or failing.

The 1% tolerance means that the actual resistance of the resistor will be within 1% of the nominal 240K Ohms value, ensuring that it offers a high degree of accuracy for critical applications such as precision measurement equipment, sensors, and audio or video systems where consistent performance is essential. The resistor is constructed with a through-hole design, which is suitable for traditional PCB assembly methods, providing reliable mechanical and electrical connections.

Typically, this type of resistor is used in analog circuits, signal conditioning, voltage regulation, or in applications requiring stable and predictable resistance. It is often made from a material such as carbon film or metal oxide for durability and long-term stability. This resistor's precise tolerance and relatively low power dissipation make it a reliable choice for industrial, consumer electronics, and hobbyist projects. The through-hole design ensures ease of installation, making it compatible with both hand-soldering and automated assembly processes.
