Description

The 27 Ohm 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component designed to limit the current flow in a circuit, offering a stable resistance of 27 ohms. This resistor is rated for a power dissipation of 2 watts, making it suitable for medium-power applications where heat management is important. The 5% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance can vary by up to 5% from the specified 27 ohms, ensuring a reliable, though not precision, performance in a wide range of circuits.

This resistor is designed with a through-hole mounting style, which means it has leads that can be inserted into a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and soldered in place. This type of resistor is commonly used in applications where the resistor needs to be securely fixed to the PCB, such as power supplies, amplifiers, motor control circuits, and other general electronic applications.

The resistor's construction consists of a ceramic core with a metal film or wire wound around it, offering excellent stability over time and with varying environmental conditions. Its 2W power rating allows it to handle moderate amounts of electrical energy without overheating, making it ideal for applications where higher currents are expected.

Overall, the 27 Ohm 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a versatile and dependable component for use in circuits requiring power dissipation up to 2 watts with moderate precision tolerance.
