Description

The 7K5 Ohm (7.5K) 1/8W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a precision electronic component designed for use in various electrical circuits and devices. It has a resistance value of 7.5 kilohms (7K5), making it suitable for applications that require resistance in this range, such as voltage dividers, signal filtering, and current limiting.

Key features of this resistor include:

• Power Rating: With a 1/8 watt (0.125W) power rating, this resistor is intended for low-power applications, capable of safely dissipating heat generated by electrical current without damage.
• Tolerance: The resistor has a 5% tolerance, meaning the actual resistance may vary by up to 5% from the stated 7.5kΩ value. This level of tolerance is standard for general-purpose resistors used in non-critical applications.
• Through Hole Mounting: The through hole design allows it to be easily inserted into a printed circuit board (PCB) with leads that pass through the board for secure soldering. This makes it ideal for DIY electronics projects, prototyping, and mass production.
• Standard Size: Typically packaged in a small cylindrical body, the resistor fits within standard 1/8W size constraints, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices and boards.

This type of resistor is commonly used in consumer electronics, power supplies, audio equipment, and other low-power electronic devices. It is designed for reliability and consistent performance, ensuring a long service life even under moderate use conditions. Whether used for signal processing or in passive network components, this 7.5kΩ resistor is a versatile choice for a wide range of applications.
