Description

The 510K Ohm 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard electronic component commonly used in various circuits for controlling current flow. It features a resistance of 510,000 ohms (510KΩ), making it suitable for applications requiring high resistance levels. With a power rating of 1/8 watt (0.125W), this resistor is designed for low-power applications and can dissipate small amounts of heat without damage.

The 5% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance value may vary by ±5% from the nominal 510KΩ value, allowing for slight deviations in resistance while still maintaining overall functionality within the specified limits. This level of tolerance is acceptable for most general-purpose circuits and non-precision applications.

This resistor has a through-hole mounting design, which means it is typically inserted into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered into place. Through-hole resistors are durable and provide secure connections, making them ideal for prototyping, repair, and DIY electronics projects. The 510K Ohm resistor is made with a reliable, long-lasting material that can withstand the mechanical stresses of the assembly process.

Overall, this resistor is an essential component for various electronic projects, offering high resistance, compact size, and the versatility needed for a broad range of general electronics, audio circuits, signal processing, and other low-power applications.
