Description

The 680K Ohm 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard passive electronic component used in various electronic circuits for controlling the flow of electric current. It has the following key specifications:

• Resistance Value: The resistor has a resistance of 680K Ohms (680,000 Ohms), making it suitable for applications requiring high resistance to limit current flow or create specific voltage drops across components.

• Power Rating: With a 1/8 watt (0.125W) power rating, this resistor is designed to handle low power dissipation. This makes it ideal for circuits with low current demands and minimal heat generation.

• Tolerance: The resistor has a 5% tolerance, meaning the actual resistance can vary by ±5% from the specified value. This is typical for general-purpose resistors, where precision is not critical.

• Through-Hole Mounting: This resistor is designed for through-hole mounting, meaning it has leads that pass through the circuit board and are soldered on the opposite side. This type of mounting is common in traditional electronic assemblies, offering reliable connections and good mechanical strength.

• Applications: This resistor can be used in a wide range of applications, including voltage dividers, signal filtering, biasing circuits, and general circuit protection. It is suitable for low power, low noise environments in both consumer and industrial electronics.

• Construction: The resistor is typically made of a ceramic or carbon film material and is encased in a cylindrical body. The leads are typically made of copper with a tin coating, providing both conductivity and resistance to corrosion.

This resistor is widely used in hobbyist electronics, educational projects, and low-power applications requiring a high-value resistor for voltage regulation or signal processing.
