The 470 Ohm 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a high-quality, reliable electronic component designed to limit the current in an electrical circuit by providing a resistance of 470 ohms. This resistor has a power rating of 1 watt (1W), which indicates that it can safely dissipate up to 1 watt of heat energy without damage. The tolerance of 5% means that the actual resistance value may vary by up to 5% from the nominal 470 ohms, making it suitable for applications where slight variations in resistance are acceptable.
With a through-hole mounting style, this resistor features leads that are designed to be inserted into holes in a printed circuit board (PCB) and then soldered in place, ensuring a secure and durable connection. Through-hole resistors are particularly favored in applications where high reliability and stability are important.
This resistor is commonly used in various electronic devices and circuits, including power supplies, audio equipment, automotive electronics, and other general-purpose applications. Its ability to handle power dissipation efficiently, along with its wide range of applications, makes it a versatile component in both commercial and industrial electronics. Additionally, the 5% tolerance is suitable for most standard circuits that do not require high-precision resistance values.
Made from robust materials, the 470 Ohm 1W 5% Through Hole Resistor offers excellent durability and thermal stability, ensuring long-term performance in a variety of environmental conditions. It is available in a standard axial leaded form, allowing for easy integration into existing PCB designs.
