Description

The 680K Ohm 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component designed for use in a variety of circuits and applications where high resistance values are needed. With a resistance value of 680,000 Ohms (680K Ω), this resistor is typically used in applications involving voltage division, current limiting, filtering, and biasing circuits.

Key Features:

• Resistance: 680K Ohms, offering high resistance for applications that require precise current flow control.
• Power Rating: 2 Watts (2W), indicating the maximum amount of power the resistor can safely dissipate without damage. This makes it suitable for moderate power applications.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance may vary by ±5% from the nominal value (680K Ohms), which is a common tolerance for standard resistors.
• Through-Hole Mounting: Designed for through-hole mounting, making it suitable for soldering to a printed circuit board (PCB) with leads that pass through holes in the board.
• Durability and Reliability: The resistor is built to withstand moderate heat dissipation, providing long-lasting performance under normal operating conditions.
• Material and Construction: Typically constructed with a ceramic core and a metal film or wire-wound element, providing stability and reliability in various environmental conditions.

Applications:

• Voltage Dividers: In combination with other resistors, the 680K Ohm resistor can be used to create voltage dividers, which are commonly used in signal processing and measuring devices.
• Current Limiting: This resistor can limit the amount of current in a circuit to prevent damage to other components, especially in high-voltage or high-current circuits.
• Signal Filtering: It may be part of an RC or RLC circuit, used for signal filtering in audio, video, or communication systems.
• Biasing Circuits: Frequently used in transistor and operational amplifier circuits, where it helps set the biasing point of the component.

This resistor's combination of a high resistance value, power rating, and through-hole mounting style makes it versatile and reliable for use in both consumer and industrial electronic devices. It is suitable for projects in areas like hobby electronics, automotive circuits, and industrial control systems.
