The 2M2 Ohm 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component used to limit or control the flow of electrical current in a circuit. With a resistance value of 2.2 megaohms (2M2), this resistor is designed for circuits where high resistance is required to prevent excessive current flow and protect sensitive components.

• Resistance Value: 2.2 Megaohms (2M2), meaning it provides resistance of 2,200,000 ohms.
• Power Rating: 1 Watt (1W), indicating it can safely dissipate up to 1 watt of power without risk of overheating or failure.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance value can vary by up to 5% from the rated value, offering flexibility in circuit designs where precision is not critical.
• Package Type: Through Hole, meaning the resistor is designed for insertion into pre-drilled holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) and is soldered on the other side. This type of mounting ensures reliable electrical connections and robust mechanical support.
• Durability: Built to withstand environmental factors and mechanical stress typical in a wide range of industrial, commercial, and DIY applications.
• Applications: Commonly used in signal filtering, voltage divider circuits, current-limiting applications, and more, making it ideal for use in consumer electronics, power supplies, automotive circuits, and any application requiring high resistance with moderate power dissipation.

This resistor is commonly utilized in both high-voltage and low-current applications, where the primary need is to control current flow and ensure that sensitive components are protected from excessive current. The through-hole design also makes it suitable for use in both hand-soldered and automated assembly processes, ensuring versatility across different production environments.
