Description

The 5K6 Ohm (5.6K) 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component designed to limit the flow of electric current in a circuit. This resistor has a resistance value of 5.6K ohms (5,600 ohms), making it ideal for applications that require a moderate resistance.

Key Features:

• Resistance Value: 5.6K ohms (5,600 ohms), providing precise current control in a circuit.
• Power Rating: 1/8 watt (0.125W), meaning it can safely dissipate up to 0.125 watts of power without overheating or damaging the resistor.
• Tolerance: 5%, which means the actual resistance can vary within 5% of the rated value, allowing for a standard range of accuracy suitable for most general electronic applications.
• Type: Through Hole Resistor, which is designed for insertion into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldering in place for secure and durable connections.
• Material: Typically made from carbon film, metal oxide, or other materials designed to withstand electrical stress and resistive wear over time.

Applications:

The 5K6 Ohm 1/8W Through Hole Resistor is commonly used in a wide range of low-power electronic applications, including:

• Signal conditioning and filtering in audio and radio-frequency circuits.
• Voltage dividers to reduce or modify voltage levels.
• Current limiting in LED circuits and other sensitive components.
• Pull-up or pull-down resistor configurations in logic circuits.

Its through-hole design makes it easy to use in both prototyping and final circuit assemblies, offering flexibility for engineers and hobbyists alike. Despite its compact size, this resistor provides stable performance in low-power applications, and its 5% tolerance ensures that it meets general performance requirements without precision-critical needs.
