Description

The 8K2 Ohm (8.2K) 1/4W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a standard fixed value resistor designed for use in a variety of electronic circuits. It has a resistance value of 8.2 kilo-ohms (8K2), which means it restricts the flow of electrical current by 8.2 thousand ohms. With a power rating of 1/4 watt (0.25W), this resistor is suitable for low to medium power applications where heat dissipation is minimal.

The tolerance of this resistor is ±5%, meaning the actual resistance value may vary by up to 5% above or below the nominal value, which is common for general-purpose resistors. The through-hole design refers to its method of mounting on a PCB (printed circuit board), where the resistor’s leads are inserted through holes in the board and soldered in place. This makes it a reliable option for various electronics and DIY projects, offering a secure and stable connection.

Typically used in applications like signal processing, current limiting, voltage dividers, and filtering circuits, this resistor offers a good balance between cost, performance, and reliability. It is widely used in consumer electronics, automotive applications, industrial controls, and educational projects. The resistor is made of high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance and stability in demanding environments.
