The 2K7 Ohm (2.7K) 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard, reliable electronic component designed to limit the current flow in a circuit, ensuring the safe operation of other components. With a resistance value of 2.7K ohms (2,700 ohms), this resistor provides precision and stability, offering a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual resistance value can vary by 5% from the rated value. This characteristic allows for moderate variations in resistance without significantly affecting circuit performance in most applications.
Rated for 1 watt (1W) of power dissipation, this resistor is suitable for use in circuits where power requirements are within this range, ensuring it doesn't overheat or fail under typical operating conditions. The 5% tolerance rating is common for general-purpose resistors, making it a versatile choice for both commercial and industrial applications. The resistor features a through-hole mounting style, meaning it is designed to be inserted through a hole in a printed circuit board (PCB) for secure, permanent placement. This design ensures a stable electrical connection and is ideal for DIY projects, repairs, or prototype circuit development.
Constructed from high-quality materials such as carbon composition or metal oxide, this resistor offers excellent durability and reliability over a wide temperature range. The resistor is suitable for various electronic devices, including power supplies, amplifiers, audio equipment, and signal processing systems. Whether used in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, or educational projects, the 2K7 Ohm 1W 5% through-hole resistor serves as a dependable and effective solution for managing electrical current and optimizing circuit performance.
