Product Description
The 220 Ohm 1/4 Watt Resistor is a fundamental passive component, widely recognized as the standard current-limiter for 5V LED circuits. These resistors feature a 5% tolerance, ensuring reliable performance for general-purpose prototyping and digital logic. With a 0.25W power rating, they provide a stable resistive barrier, preventing overcurrent damage to sensitive semiconductors while maintaining a compact axial form factor.
Key Features
LED Circuit Standard: Optimized for driving standard 5mm LEDs from a 5V supply (like Arduino) at a safe ~15-20mA.
Axial Through-Hole Leads: Flexible, tin-plated leads ensure a secure fit in solderless breadboards and easy soldering.
4-Band Color Code: Clearly marked with Red, Red, Brown, Gold for instant manual identification and sorting.
Stable Carbon Film Tech: Provides consistent electrical performance with low electrical noise and high thermal stability.
Safety Coating: Finished with a flame-retardant lacquer to protect the element from moisture and prevent combustion during overloads.
