The 27K Ohm 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a passive electronic component designed for use in various electrical and electronic applications. With a resistance value of 27,000 ohms (27K Ω), this resistor offers a balance between power dissipation, size, and resistance. It is designed to operate at a power rating of 1 watt (1W), making it suitable for moderate power applications where higher power dissipation is required compared to standard low-wattage resistors.
The 5% tolerance rating indicates that the actual resistance can vary by up to 5% from the nominal value, making it ideal for general-purpose usage where absolute precision is not critical. This tolerance value is typical for resistors used in consumer electronics, amplifiers, and other standard circuit designs.
The through-hole form factor means that the resistor is designed to be mounted through holes in a printed circuit board (PCB), where its leads are inserted into the board and soldered in place. This through-hole mounting method provides excellent mechanical stability and ease of repair, making it a popular choice for both prototyping and permanent circuit assemblies.
Constructed from high-quality materials, this resistor is capable of handling a wide range of operating temperatures, ensuring reliable performance in various environments. It is commonly used in applications such as voltage dividers, current limiting, biasing, and filtering, especially in power supply circuits and other high-resistance applications.
Overall, the 27K Ohm 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a versatile and durable component that provides efficient resistance with moderate power dissipation capabilities, making it suitable for a wide range of electronic circuit designs.
