Royal Ohm Carbon Film Resistors 200 Ohms 1/4W 5%

The Royal Ohm carbon film resistor is a component designed for general-purpose electronic applications. It features a resistance value of 200 Ohms and a tolerance of 5%, ensuring reasonable precision for many circuits. The power rating is 1/4W, making it suitable for low to medium power dissipation scenarios. This resistor is intended for through-hole mounting, which typically involves inserting leads into a printed circuit board and soldering them in place. Its carbon film construction is a common choice for cost-effectiveness and acceptable performance in various applications.

Key electrical characteristics include its nominal resistance and tolerance. The 1/4W power rating dictates the maximum continuous power it can safely dissipate without overheating. For designers, understanding these parameters is crucial for circuit stability and longevity. The through-hole package type offers robust mechanical connections compared to surface-mount alternatives, often preferred in prototyping or applications requiring higher mechanical stress resistance.
