The 270 Ohm 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a high-quality electronic component designed for use in various electrical and electronic circuits. With a resistance value of 270 ohms, it offers a stable and reliable performance in controlling the flow of electric current within a circuit. This resistor is rated for a power dissipation of 1 watt (1W), meaning it can safely handle up to 1 watt of power without overheating or damaging the component.
The resistor has a tolerance of 5%, indicating that its actual resistance value can vary by ±5% from the nominal value of 270 ohms, ensuring a certain degree of flexibility in its applications. This tolerance is common for general-purpose resistors, making it suitable for most standard applications where precise resistance isn't critical.
Designed with a through-hole mounting style, the 270 Ohm resistor features leads that are inserted into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered into place, providing a secure and stable connection. The through-hole design is ideal for various DIY projects, prototyping, or assembly in electronic devices where space may not be as constrained.
This resistor is constructed with a durable, ceramic or metal oxide body, and it is typically coated with a color-coded band system for easy identification of its resistance value. The resistor’s small physical size allows it to fit easily into most electronic circuits while providing dependable performance across a wide range of temperatures and operating conditions.
Applications for this 270 Ohm 1W resistor include power supplies, signal processing circuits, voltage dividers, and other electronic components where current limiting or resistance control is needed. Its robust design and versatility make it an excellent choice for both professional engineers and hobbyists working on electronic projects.
