Description

The 51K Ohm 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component commonly used in circuits to limit or control the flow of electric current. This resistor has a resistance value of 51,000 ohms (51K), which means it provides opposition to the current flow in a circuit at this specified level. It is rated for a power dissipation of 1/8 watt (0.125W), meaning it can safely dissipate up to 0.125 watts of power without being damaged by heat. The resistor features a tolerance of 5%, which indicates that the actual resistance may vary by plus or minus 5% from the nominal 51K ohms value.

Designed for through-hole mounting, this resistor is intended to be inserted into drilled holes on a printed circuit board (PCB), where the leads are soldered to the PCB to create a stable connection. Its standard size is suitable for use in a wide range of general-purpose applications, including power supplies, signal processing, voltage dividers, and filtering circuits.

This resistor is constructed using high-quality materials that ensure reliability and longevity, offering dependable performance in both low and moderate power applications. Its wide temperature tolerance allows it to operate effectively in various environmental conditions, making it a versatile choice for both prototyping and mass production.

With its simple and compact design, the 51K Ohm 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is ideal for use in electronic devices, hobby projects, automotive electronics, and industrial equipment where precision and stability in resistance are required, while the through-hole design ensures it can be securely mounted for long-lasting performance.
