Description

The 270K Ohm 1/4W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard fixed resistor designed for use in electronic circuits, offering a resistance value of 270,000 ohms (270K ohms). This resistor has a 1/4-watt (0.25W) power rating, meaning it is capable of dissipating up to 0.25 watts of power without being damaged. The 5% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance value may vary within a range of ±5% from the nominal 270K ohms, making it suitable for applications where slight variations in resistance are acceptable.

The resistor comes in a through-hole package, designed for insertion into a PCB (printed circuit board) where it can be soldered in place. The through-hole design ensures a reliable mechanical connection and is ideal for applications where the resistor needs to be easily mounted and replaced.

This component is often used in various electronic devices, including voltage dividers, current-limiting applications, signal conditioning circuits, and filtering systems. The resistor is built to withstand a broad range of environmental conditions, providing stable performance over time, with minimal drift in resistance value. It is commonly used in DIY electronics, prototyping, and production of consumer electronics, telecommunications, and automotive electronics.
