Description

The "E33 Ohm (0.33E) 2W 5% Through Hole Resistor" is a type of electrical resistor characterized by the following specifications:

• Resistance Value: 0.33 ohms (0.33E)
• Power Rating: 2 watts (W)
• Tolerance: ±5% (This means the actual resistance could vary by 5% above or below the stated value of 0.33 ohms.)
• Form Factor: Through hole (This indicates the resistor has leads that pass through holes in a printed circuit board (PCB) for soldering.)
• Package Type: Likely a standard cylindrical or rectangular body typical of through-hole resistors.

Key Features:

• 0.33 ohms: A relatively low resistance value, suitable for applications requiring current-limiting, power dissipation, or voltage regulation.
• 2W Power Rating: The resistor can safely dissipate up to 2 watts of power without being damaged, making it suitable for higher power applications than standard 1/4W resistors.
• 5% Tolerance: The actual resistance can vary within 5% of the stated value, which is acceptable for many non-critical applications where precise resistance isn't mandatory.

Typical Applications:

• Power supplies: As a current-limiting or voltage-dividing component in power circuits.
• Motor control circuits: To limit current to motors or other inductive loads.
• Amps and audio equipment: In signal paths, to ensure proper current handling without introducing too much heat.
• Circuits involving high currents: Where resistors with higher power ratings are required to prevent overheating
