Description

A 68K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component designed to limit the current flow in a circuit while maintaining specific electrical properties. This resistor has a nominal resistance value of 68,000 ohms (68K Ω), making it suitable for use in a variety of electronic circuits where precise resistance is required.

Key features of this resistor include:

• Power Rating of 1/4W (0.25 Watts): This rating indicates that the resistor can safely dissipate up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or failing. The 1/4W power rating makes this component ideal for most low-power applications.

• Tolerance of 1%: This means that the actual resistance of the resistor is guaranteed to be within ±1% of the stated 68K ohms. The 1% tolerance ensures that the resistor provides accurate and predictable performance, making it suitable for precision circuits.

• Through-Hole Mounting: Designed for through-hole assembly, this resistor has leads that can be inserted into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered in place. This makes it a standard and reliable choice for both hobbyists and professionals working with traditional PCB designs.

• Durability and Stability: The 68K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is built to withstand typical operating conditions without degradation over time. It is constructed from high-quality materials like metal film or carbon film, providing excellent stability and performance across a wide range of temperatures.

This type of resistor is commonly used in signal processing, voltage division, filtering, and biasing circuits. It is an essential component in various applications, such as audio equipment, sensor circuits, and signal conditioning. Additionally, its high tolerance and power rating make it well-suited for both commercial and DIY projects that require consistent electrical performance.
