Description

A 300 Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a high-precision electronic component designed to provide a stable resistance of 300 ohms with minimal tolerance variation. The resistor has a power rating of 1/4 watt, meaning it can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without damage or failure. With a tolerance of 1%, it ensures that the actual resistance value remains within 1% of the nominal value, making it ideal for applications that require accurate resistance control.

This resistor is a through-hole type, meaning it is designed to be mounted by inserting its metal leads through holes in a printed circuit board (PCB) and then soldered into place, making it suitable for a wide range of electronic devices and projects. Through-hole resistors are typically more durable and have better heat handling characteristics compared to surface-mount resistors, especially in high-power applications.

The resistor’s 1/4W power rating ensures it can handle typical signal and low-power applications, such as in voltage dividers, current limiting, or filtering circuits. It is commonly used in various electronics, including audio equipment, power supplies, and sensors, providing accurate current regulation and voltage control.

The resistor’s construction usually involves a metal oxide or carbon composition core, which contributes to its resistance value and durability. This component is widely available in the standard color-coding system for easy identification, and it plays an essential role in both analog and digital circuits.
