Description

The 2M7 Ohm 1/4W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard fixed-value resistor commonly used in various electronic applications. It has the following key features:

• Resistance Value: 2.7 Mega Ohms (2M7). This resistor is designed to limit or control the current flow in an electrical circuit with a resistance of 2.7 million ohms, making it suitable for high resistance needs.

• Power Rating: 1/4 Watt (0.25W). The resistor can dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or being damaged. This makes it appropriate for circuits where low power dissipation is needed.

• Tolerance: 5%. The resistor has a tolerance of ±5%, meaning that the actual resistance value may vary by up to 5% above or below the nominal value of 2.7MΩ. This tolerance is suitable for applications where precision is not critical.

• Package Type: Through-hole. The resistor has two metal leads that are inserted into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered into place, providing a reliable mechanical connection.

• Applications: Commonly used in voltage divider circuits, signal processing, biasing, and filtering applications. It is also frequently found in high impedance circuits or as part of a series or parallel configuration to set specific resistance values.

• Construction: The resistor is typically made of a carbon film or metal oxide material, offering durability and reliability. It is designed to operate within a wide temperature range and withstand regular electrical stress.

This 2M7 Ohm resistor is ideal for use in low-power, general-purpose applications, providing a consistent and dependable resistance value to regulate current flow in various electronic circuits.
