Description

The 2K7 Ohm (2.7K) 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard electronic component designed for use in a wide range of applications. It is a carbon film resistor with a resistance value of 2.7 kilohms (2K7), making it suitable for circuits where a moderate level of resistance is required. The "1/8W" rating refers to its power rating, indicating it can safely dissipate up to 1/8 of a watt (0.125W) without risk of damage or overheating.

This resistor is designed with a tolerance of 5%, meaning its actual resistance can vary by up to 5% from the nominal 2.7KΩ value, which is typical for general-purpose resistors. The "through hole" design refers to the component's lead structure, which is intended for insertion into printed circuit boards (PCBs) with holes, making it suitable for manual assembly or automated pick-and-place processes.

It is often used in low-power circuits where precise resistance is needed, such as signal processing, analog electronics, and voltage regulation. The 2K7 Ohm resistor is a reliable, cost-effective choice for many DIY projects, hobbyist electronics, and industrial applications where a durable, compact resistor is required.

With a standard axial form factor, it is compatible with most through-hole PCB designs and is widely available for use in a variety of electronic devices and systems.
