Description

A 750K Ohm 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is an electronic component used to limit the current flow within a circuit. This resistor has a resistance value of 750,000 ohms (750K), which means it restricts the current to a specific value based on the applied voltage, following Ohm's law. It is designed to handle a maximum power dissipation of 1/8 watt (0.125W), which refers to the amount of energy the resistor can safely dissipate in the form of heat without being damaged.

This resistor features a tolerance of 5%, meaning that its actual resistance can vary by up to 5% from the nominal 750K ohms. This tolerance is important in circuits where precise resistance is not critical, but some variation is acceptable. The resistor comes in a through-hole package, making it suitable for insertion into a printed circuit board (PCB) where it can be soldered in place.

The 750K ohm value is commonly used in a variety of applications such as voltage dividers, signal conditioning, and other electronic circuits where high resistance is needed to control current flow and voltage levels. Its compact design and through-hole configuration make it versatile and easy to use in both prototyping and production environments.

This resistor is ideal for standard electronic applications where size constraints and power ratings are not overly demanding. The 1/8W rating ensures that it can be used in low-power applications without the risk of overheating. It is a widely available component, often found in consumer electronics, communications equipment, and other electronic devices.
