Description

The 560K Ohm 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component designed to limit the amount of current flowing through a circuit, ensuring safe and efficient operation of electrical devices. It has a resistance value of 560,000 ohms, making it suitable for applications that require a higher resistance to control current flow.

Key specifications include:

• Resistance Value: 560,000 ohms (560KΩ) – This value is crucial in determining how much current can flow through the resistor when placed in a circuit with a given voltage.
• Power Rating: 2 watts (2W) – This indicates the maximum amount of power the resistor can dissipate without overheating or damaging the component. A 2W power rating ensures the resistor can handle moderate power levels in circuits.
• Tolerance: 5% – This means the actual resistance of the resistor may vary by ±5% from the nominal value of 560K ohms, offering a balance between performance and cost for less critical applications.
• Through Hole Mounting: This type of resistor features leads that are inserted through holes in the circuit board, making it ideal for traditional or hand-soldering applications. This ensures secure mechanical and electrical connections in most general-purpose electronic assemblies.
• Construction and Material: The resistor is typically made with a ceramic core and a resistive element of metal oxide or carbon film, ensuring reliable performance and durability. Its construction is designed to withstand the mechanical stresses of insertion into a PCB, as well as thermal and electrical stresses.

The 560K Ohm 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is commonly used in applications such as voltage dividers, signal processing, current limiting, and filtering circuits, making it a versatile component for a wide range of electronics, from basic hobby projects to more complex industrial designs. Its high resistance and power rating make it especially useful in circuits with low current draw, where higher resistance is needed to control the flow of electricity safely.
