Description

The 360K Ohm 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a passive electronic component used to limit the flow of electrical current in a circuit, providing precise resistance. With a resistance value of 360,000 Ohms (360KΩ), this resistor is typically used in high-impedance circuits, such as signal processing, voltage dividers, and other applications requiring a specific level of resistance.

Key specifications of the resistor are:

• Resistance Value: 360,000 Ohms (360KΩ), which ensures that it meets the required electrical specifications for precise control of current in various circuit designs.
• Power Rating: 1/8W (0.125 watts). This indicates that the resistor can safely dissipate up to 0.125 watts of power without overheating, making it suitable for low-power applications.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance value can vary by ±5% from the nominal 360KΩ, providing some level of flexibility in less critical designs where exact resistance is not crucial.
• Type: Through Hole Mounting, meaning the resistor has leads that can be inserted through a hole in a circuit board and soldered into place, making it suitable for use in various electronic assemblies.
• Construction: Typically constructed from materials like carbon film or metal oxide, which are designed to maintain stable performance under normal operating conditions.

This resistor is commonly found in general-purpose electronic circuits, providing reliable current limiting in power supplies, analog signal circuits, voltage regulation, and a variety of other electronics where precise resistance values are necessary for proper functionality.
