Description

A 39 Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is an essential passive electronic component used to limit or control the current flow in an electrical circuit. With a resistance value of 39 Ohms, this resistor can handle up to 1/4 watt (0.25W) of power dissipation, making it suitable for moderate-power applications. The 1% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance value will be within 1% of the nominal 39 Ohms, ensuring a high level of accuracy and precision in the circuit.

The resistor features a through-hole design, meaning it is intended to be inserted into a hole on a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered in place. This makes it ideal for use in traditional, non-surface-mount (through-hole) applications. Its small and compact size ensures it can be used in a variety of electronic devices, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment.

The resistor is typically made from a metal oxide or carbon film, which provides stability and durability over time, ensuring consistent performance. Its color code marking (typically 39 Ohm with a gold band for tolerance) helps easily identify its specifications during assembly or maintenance. The 39 Ohm value is commonly used in circuits for current limiting, voltage division, and filtering applications, where precision and reliability are critical.
