Description

The 6.8K Ohm (6.8K) 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a precision electronic component designed to provide stable and accurate resistance in a wide range of applications. With a nominal resistance of 6.8K Ohms, this resistor offers a tolerance of 1%, meaning its actual resistance will vary within 1% of the specified value, ensuring a high degree of precision in circuits that require accuracy.

The 1/4 watt (0.25W) power rating indicates that this resistor is capable of dissipating up to 0.25 watts of power without overheating or being damaged, making it suitable for low-power circuits. The resistor is designed for through-hole mounting, meaning it is intended for use in traditional printed circuit boards (PCBs) where the component's leads are inserted into holes and soldered onto the opposite side. This mounting style is widely used in electronic prototyping and mass production.

Thanks to its 1% tolerance, the 6.8K resistor ensures minimal deviation in resistance, making it ideal for precision applications, such as signal processing, voltage division, and current limiting in circuits where exact resistance values are critical. It is also commonly used in audio electronics, telecommunications, and power supplies.

This resistor's standard size and industry-standard color coding, typically represented as blue, gray, red, gold, make it easy to identify and integrate into designs. The durable construction of the resistor ensures reliable performance over time, and it can withstand environmental factors like heat, humidity, and mechanical stress commonly encountered in everyday electronic applications.

Whether used for DIY electronics projects, commercial products, or in educational settings, the 6.8K Ohm 1/4W 1% Through Hole Resistor is a versatile and reliable component that delivers precise resistance values and long-lasting performance in through-hole mounted circuit designs.
