The 390 Ohm 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard, high-performance electronic component designed for use in various electronic circuits and applications. It features a resistance value of 390 ohms, making it suitable for tasks where precise current limiting or voltage division is required. With a power rating of 1 watt, this resistor can safely dissipate up to 1W of electrical power without the risk of overheating or failure.
The 5% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance value may vary by 5% above or below the nominal 390 Ohms, making it ideal for general-purpose applications where slight variations in resistance are acceptable. The resistor is constructed with a through-hole mounting style, which ensures secure installation on a circuit board by fitting into pre-drilled holes and being soldered in place. This through-hole design provides reliable electrical contact and is commonly used in traditional electronic projects, prototyping, and hobbyist applications.
The resistor's carbon film construction ensures it has a stable resistance over time and temperature, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. Its compact, cylindrical body is typically encased in an insulating material, offering durability and protection from electrical hazards.
Commonly used in circuits for voltage regulation, current limiting, signal conditioning, and other electronic functions, the 390 Ohm 1W resistor is a versatile component found in consumer electronics, industrial machinery, power supplies, and audio equipment. Its robustness and consistent performance make it a reliable choice for both hobbyists and professionals alike.
