Description

The 2M7 Ohm 1/2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a type of fixed electrical component used in a variety of electronic circuits to limit the current flow and provide resistance at a specified value. With a resistance value of 2.7 Megaohms (2M7), this resistor is ideal for applications requiring a high level of resistance, typically used in signal processing, voltage dividers, and other high-impedance circuits.

Key specifications include:

• Resistance: 2.7 Megaohms (2M7), which indicates the resistor's ability to resist electrical current.
• Power Rating: 1/2 Watt (0.5W), meaning the resistor can safely dissipate up to 0.5 watts of electrical power without overheating.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance can vary by ±5% from the nominal value (2.7MΩ). This tolerance level makes it suitable for applications where precise resistance is not crucial.
• Construction: Through Hole, meaning the resistor is designed to be inserted into holes in a printed circuit board (PCB), and soldered on the other side to create a secure electrical connection.
• Material: Typically made from carbon film or metal oxide for stability, durability, and consistent performance.
• Applications: This resistor is widely used in general-purpose circuits, signal processing, analog electronics, voltage regulation, and other medium-to-high resistance applications in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and DIY projects.

The 2M7 Ohm 1/2W 5% Through Hole Resistor offers reliable and efficient performance for any circuit where precise resistance control is important, with a balance of cost-effectiveness and accuracy for non-critical applications.
