Description

The 68K Ohm 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a small, reliable electronic component designed to limit the current flow in a circuit by providing a specific level of resistance. This resistor has a nominal resistance of 68,000 ohms (68KΩ), making it ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including signal processing, filtering, voltage regulation, and many other circuit designs that require precise control of electrical resistance.

Key features of this resistor include:

• Resistance Value: 68K Ohms (68,000 Ohms), which offers a moderate level of resistance, suitable for various standard electronics applications.
• Power Rating: 1/8 Watt (0.125W), which specifies the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate without being damaged. This makes it ideal for low-power circuits.
• Tolerance: 5%, meaning the actual resistance value may vary within ±5% of the specified 68KΩ. This tolerance is typical for general-purpose resistors and ensures reliable performance in most non-precision applications.
• Package Type: Through-hole, which means it is designed to be inserted into holes in a printed circuit board (PCB) and soldered in place. Through-hole resistors are well-suited for projects that require robust mechanical connections and are often used in prototyping, hobbyist projects, or professional circuit boards.
• Material and Construction: Typically made from a ceramic or metal oxide core with a printed resistive material, coated for protection. The resistor is designed for durability and stability under normal operating conditions.
• Applications: Ideal for use in standard electronic circuits, including power supplies, signal processing, voltage dividers, and filtering applications. It can be found in consumer electronics, industrial controls, automotive systems, and many other electronic devices.

This resistor is an excellent choice for hobbyists, engineers, and designers seeking an affordable, durable, and dependable component to implement in various types of electrical and electronic projects.
