Description

The 3.3K Ohm (3K3) 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a small, reliable electronic component commonly used in various applications, including circuit boards and electronic devices. With a resistance value of 3.3 kilo-ohms, this resistor offers a precision tolerance of 5%, meaning that its actual resistance may vary by 5% from the nominal value. The power rating of 1/8 watt indicates that the resistor can safely dissipate up to 1/8 watt of power without risk of overheating or failure, making it suitable for low-power circuits.

The through-hole mounting style ensures ease of installation into a PCB (Printed Circuit Board), where the leads of the resistor are inserted into pre-drilled holes and soldered in place. This type of mounting is commonly used in traditional, hand-assembled circuits and for prototyping. The 5% tolerance reflects the standard deviation from the nominal resistance value and is generally acceptable for most non-critical applications.

This resistor is ideal for a wide range of general-purpose uses in both analog and digital circuits, such as voltage dividers, current limiting, signal conditioning, or pull-up/pull-down resistors. It is constructed with durable materials to withstand the rigors of everyday electronics and is an essential component in the design and repair of electronic equipment.
