Description

The 4K7 Ohm (4.7K) 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a high-quality electronic component designed for precise electrical resistance in various circuits and applications. With a resistance value of 4.7kΩ (4,700 ohms), this resistor is widely used in signal processing, voltage divider circuits, and current limiting applications. It offers a power rating of 2 watts (2W), making it suitable for handling moderate power without overheating or degrading performance.

The 5% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance value may vary by up to 5% from the nominal value, providing a balance between accuracy and cost-effectiveness for general-purpose applications. The through-hole design means that this resistor is intended for mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB) with leads that pass through holes in the board for secure and reliable connection.

This resistor features standard construction, often utilizing a carbon or metal oxide resistive element encapsulated in a ceramic body, ensuring both durability and thermal stability. It is designed to maintain consistent resistance under typical operating conditions, with the ability to handle moderate environmental stress, such as temperature fluctuations and humidity.

Typical uses include applications in power supplies, audio circuits, LED drivers, and any device that requires resistance to limit current or set voltage levels. Its robustness and reliability make it an excellent choice for hobbyists, professionals, and industrial applications alike.
