Description

A 300K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component used for controlling the current flow in a circuit. It has the following characteristics:

• Resistance Value: 300K Ohms (300,000 ohms), which means it resists the flow of electric current, limiting it to a specific amount in the circuit. The resistance value determines how much the resistor will impede the electrical current based on Ohm's Law.

• Power Rating: 1/4 Watt (0.25W). This rating indicates the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate as heat without being damaged. A higher power rating allows for higher currents to pass through without overheating.

• Tolerance: 1%. This means the actual resistance value will deviate by no more than 1% from the specified value. For example, a 1% tolerance on a 300K ohm resistor means the actual resistance can range from 297K ohms to 303K ohms.

• Type: Through Hole. This refers to the resistor's mounting style. Through-hole resistors have leads that are inserted through holes on a circuit board and soldered into place, making them suitable for many different types of projects and providing a reliable, durable connection.

• Applications: Commonly used in analog circuits, signal processing, and other applications requiring precise resistance values. This type of resistor is frequently found in both consumer electronics and industrial devices.

• Construction: Typically made of a ceramic or carbon film material, which is compact and highly effective at dissipating heat. The component's leads are usually made of copper or tinned copper, ensuring good conductivity and ease of soldering.

The 300K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a versatile and reliable component used in a wide variety of electrical applications requiring precision in current limiting and voltage division.
