Description

The 560K Ohm 1/4W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard, high-precision passive electronic component used in various applications for limiting current flow, dividing voltages, or adjusting signal levels. This resistor has a resistance value of 560,000 ohms (560KΩ), making it suitable for circuits that require relatively high resistance values.

Key Features:

• Resistance: 560K Ohms, providing a specific resistance suitable for high-impedance circuits or voltage divider applications.
• Power Rating: 1/4 Watt (0.25W), meaning it can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or failure, making it suitable for medium-power applications.
• Tolerance: ±5%, indicating that the actual resistance value can vary by up to 5% from the nominal value. This level of tolerance is commonly used in general-purpose applications where high precision is not crucial.
• Package Type: Through-hole, designed for insertion into PCB (Printed Circuit Board) holes for permanent mounting. This is ideal for applications where space is less of a concern and a more robust mechanical connection is needed.
• Size: Standard axial form, typically measuring around 6.3mm in diameter and 2.5mm in length. This makes it suitable for general-purpose use in most electronic devices and circuits.
• Material & Construction: The resistor typically features a carbon film or metal oxide construction, providing good durability, stability, and reliable performance for a range of industrial, consumer, and automotive electronics.

Applications: This 560K Ohm resistor is widely used in analog circuits, voltage dividers, biasing circuits, and filtering applications. It's also used in signal processing circuits, audio equipment, and as a pull-down or pull-up resistor in digital circuits. It is ideal for applications where moderate resistance is needed, and the tolerance level is not overly strict.

The through-hole design ensures a solid connection and is preferred in situations where the resistor might experience mechanical stress or vibration, making it a popular choice for both prototyping and production in various electronic assemblies.
