Description

The 27K Ohm 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a precision electronic component designed for use in a wide range of electronic circuits. It has a resistance value of 27,000 Ohms (27K), making it suitable for applications where this specific resistance is needed. The 2W (2-Watt) rating indicates the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate without being damaged, making it a medium-power component ideal for use in circuits with moderate power requirements. The 5% tolerance denotes that the actual resistance value can vary by up to 5% from the specified 27,000 Ohms, which is acceptable in many general-purpose applications but should be considered in high-precision designs.

The through-hole design of the resistor makes it ideal for insertion into a circuit board where it is soldered to pads on both sides, providing a secure and reliable connection. Through-hole resistors are often used in applications requiring higher durability or when a more robust connection is necessary. The standard axial leads extend from both ends, making it easy to mount onto a PCB and connect to other circuit components.

This resistor is commonly used in electronic projects, DIY electronics, audio systems, power supplies, and various other electronic devices. Its 2W power rating allows it to be used in circuits that involve moderate amounts of current and voltage. The wide tolerance range ensures versatility in many standard applications, though for highly accurate or sensitive designs, a lower tolerance resistor may be preferable.

The 27K Ohm 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is built with high-quality materials for longevity and reliable performance, ensuring it can withstand long operational periods without significant degradation of its resistance value. It is an essential component for electronic engineers, hobbyists, and makers looking to complete their electronic builds with durable and effective resistors.
