Description

The 47 Ohm 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a passive electronic component used to limit the flow of electric current in a circuit. It features a resistance value of 47 ohms, meaning it will resist the current flow to that magnitude. With a power rating of 2 watts, it can safely dissipate up to 2 watts of power without overheating or damage, making it suitable for medium power applications. The resistor has a tolerance of 5%, which means that its actual resistance can vary by up to 5% above or below the rated value, providing a balance between accuracy and cost-efficiency.

This resistor is designed for through-hole mounting, meaning it has two leads that are inserted into holes on a circuit board and soldered in place, offering a secure and reliable connection for more robust, permanent assemblies. The 47 Ohm 2W 5% resistor is commonly used in power supply circuits, current-limiting applications, signal filtering, voltage division, and other scenarios where precise resistance is needed without high cost. Its durable construction and wide tolerance make it ideal for a variety of commercial, industrial, and hobbyist applications.

Additionally, the resistor's construction materials are designed for long-term reliability and stability, even under harsh environmental conditions. Its physical form allows for easy handling and placement during PCB assembly, making it a versatile choice for many standard through-hole resistor applications.
