Description

The 27K Ohm 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a precision passive electronic component designed to limit the flow of electric current within an electronic circuit. It has a resistance value of 27,000 Ohms, making it suitable for a variety of applications that require moderate resistance in signal or power conditioning circuits. This resistor operates at a 1/8-watt power rating, indicating its ability to dissipate a maximum of 1/8 watt of power without risk of damage.

With a 5% tolerance, this resistor allows for a slight variation in its resistance value, ensuring flexibility in its application across different circuits. The tolerance means the actual resistance could vary by 5% above or below the stated value, ensuring a balance between cost-effectiveness and performance for most general-purpose applications. The resistor is designed with a through-hole mounting style, making it suitable for traditional circuit board designs that require manual or automated soldering for secure connections.

This resistor is typically used in applications such as voltage dividers, filtering circuits, current limiting for LEDs or transistors, and in general-purpose electronic projects. It’s commonly found in consumer electronics, amplifiers, power supplies, and other electronic devices that require stable resistance performance in compact packages.

The 1/8W power rating indicates that this resistor is ideal for low-power applications where space and thermal management are concerns. With its through-hole design, it provides reliability and ease of use in most standard soldering processes. It’s an essential part of the resistor family, offering reliability, durability, and consistency in performance for both hobbyists and engineers.
