Description

The 33 Ohm 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a high-performance electronic component designed to regulate current flow and maintain voltage within a specified range. This resistor features a resistance value of 33 ohms (Ω), making it suitable for a wide range of applications where this specific resistance is required. The 2W (2-watt) power rating indicates that the resistor can safely dissipate up to 2 watts of power without overheating or failing, making it ideal for circuits where moderate power is involved.

The 5% tolerance specifies that the actual resistance value may vary by up to 5% from the rated value of 33 ohms, ensuring reasonable accuracy for most electronic designs, but not requiring precision down to smaller tolerances. This makes the resistor versatile for general use in a variety of non-critical applications.

Designed with a through-hole configuration, the resistor has two leads that allow it to be mounted directly onto a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). This makes it easy to integrate into a wide range of electronic devices, offering stable performance in environments such as consumer electronics, audio equipment, automotive electronics, and power supplies. The through-hole design also enhances the mechanical stability of the component, ensuring long-lasting durability under normal operating conditions.

The construction of the resistor typically involves a ceramic body with a metal film or wire wound around it, providing a stable resistance under a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions. This durability ensures that the resistor will continue to function effectively in demanding applications. Additionally, the component can be easily identified by its color coding or numerical marking, which indicates its resistance value.

This 33 Ohm 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is an essential part of many electronic circuits, providing effective current limiting, signal conditioning, voltage division, and temperature compensation in a wide array of electronic devices and systems.
