Description

The 3M9 Ohm 1/4W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard electronic component designed for use in various electronic circuits. It features a resistance value of 3.9 ohms, making it suitable for applications requiring precise current control. This resistor has a power rating of 1/4 watt (0.25W), meaning it can dissipate a maximum of 0.25 watts of power without overheating. The tolerance of 5% indicates that the actual resistance value may vary by ±5% from the stated 3.9 ohms, providing a balance between accuracy and cost-effectiveness in many general-purpose applications.

This resistor utilizes a through-hole mounting style, which is designed to be inserted into a hole on a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered in place, making it suitable for both manual and automated soldering processes. It is typically used in low-power applications such as voltage dividers, signal processing circuits, and basic current limiting in electronic devices. The through-hole configuration provides a reliable and durable connection in a wide range of electronic projects, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment.

The 3M9 Ohm 1/4W 5% resistor is constructed from high-quality materials, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance. It is ideal for applications where space is not as critical, and a stable, general-purpose resistor is needed. Its wide usage across various sectors, including DIY electronics, educational projects, and repairs, makes it a versatile and essential component for any electronic workbench.
