The 22K Ohm 0.25W Carbon Film Resistor manages current flow in standard low-power circuits. It maintains a 22K Ohm value with a ±5% tolerance rating. Axial leads connect directly to breadboards or through-hole PCBs for logical signal biasing.
Key Features
- Carbon Film Construction: 22K Ohm resistance with ±5% tolerance levels. Values remain consistent even during high local humidity conditions.
- 4-Band Color Coding: Red-Red-Orange-Gold sequence simplifies visual identification. Technicians identify values without needing a multimeter for every component.
- Flame Retardant Coating: Heat-resistant exterior stops combustion during circuit failure. The coating chars rather than igniting if current exceeds the 0.25W rating.
- 250V Maximum Voltage: Supports operation up to 250 volts. Capacity permits use in both battery-powered and mains-rectified DC projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the color code for a 22K ohm resistor?
The 4-band code is Red, Red, Orange, and Gold. These bands specify the 22,000-ohm resistance and the ±5% precision limit.
What is a 22K resistor used for?
It operates as a pull-up or pull-down resistor in microcontroller logic circuits. The component limits current to prevent damage to sensitive digital input pins.
