Description

The 8K2 Ohm (8.2K) 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor is a high-quality electronic component used for current limiting and voltage dividing applications in various electronic circuits. With a resistance value of 8.2K ohms (8,200 ohms), this resistor is designed to handle power up to 2 watts (2W), ensuring it can manage moderate energy dissipation without overheating or failing. It has a tolerance rating of 5%, meaning its actual resistance can vary by up to 5% from the nominal value, which is suitable for applications where high precision is not critical.

This resistor comes in a through-hole package, making it ideal for traditional soldering methods and providing robust mechanical strength, ensuring a secure connection when mounted on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). The through-hole design allows for easy installation and greater durability compared to surface-mount resistors, which can be advantageous in high-stress environments.

Its construction typically involves a metal oxide or carbon composition, which determines the resistor’s performance in terms of stability, power handling, and tolerance. The 8K2 Ohm resistor is used in a variety of applications, including power supplies, audio systems, industrial equipment, and general electronic projects where a specific resistance is required. The resistor’s characteristics make it a versatile and reliable choice for both commercial and DIY electronics.
