Product Description (Detailed):

Precisely manage current and voltage in your electronic circuits with our reliable 2.2KΩ Carbon Film Resistor. Commonly known as a 2.2K Ohm resistor or 2K2 resistor, this fundamental passive component is indispensable for a broad spectrum of electronic projects, from educational experiments to professional prototypes. Each resistor is rated for a consistent ¼ Watt (0.25W) power dissipation, making it perfectly suited for low-power applications where precise current limiting or voltage division is required. The carbon film construction ensures stable resistance values with a standard ±5% tolerance, easily identified by its distinctive Red-Red-Red-Gold color code bands. This robust and cost-effective design is essential for protecting sensitive active components like LEDs, setting bias points for transistors, and configuring voltage divider networks to achieve specific voltage levels.

Our axial lead through-hole resistors are engineered for straightforward integration into breadboards, stripboards, and printed circuit boards (PCBs), providing excellent mechanical stability for both temporary and permanent installations. With a typical maximum working voltage of 250V and an operating temperature range generally from -55°C to +150°C, these resistors offer dependable performance across various environmental conditions. Whether you're building a simple indicator circuit, developing a sensor interface for an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, or creating more intricate analog and digital designs, the 2.2K Ohm carbon film resistor plays a crucial role. It accurately controls current flow according to Ohm's Law ($I=V/R$), contributing to the longevity of your components and the correct operation of your circuits. As a widely available component in Pune and across India, it's an excellent choice for any electronic endeavor. Invest in these high-quality 2.2K Ohm resistors for accurate performance, durability, and a smooth experience in all your electronic projects.
