Product Description: The 15 Ohm 1/4 Watt Resistor is a reliable passive component used for precise current regulation and circuit protection. These resistors feature a 5% tolerance, making them suitable for standard prototyping, timing circuits, and signal conditioning. With a 0.25W power rating, they are an essential staple for any electronics project, providing a stable resistive barrier in a compact through-hole package.

Key Features

  • Low Resistance Utility: Ideal for applications requiring a small voltage drop or low-level current limiting.

  • Axial Through-Hole Leads: Designed for easy insertion into solderless breadboards or permanent soldering onto PCBs.

  • 4-Band Colour Identification: Features the standard colour code (Brown, Green, Black, Gold) for rapid manual sorting.

  • Stable Carbon Film Tech: Provides consistent electrical performance with low noise and high reliability.

  • Flame Retardant Coating: Built with a protective layer to enhance safety during minor circuit overloads.

Technical Details

  • Maximum Working Voltage: Rated for stable operation up to 250V in standard DC/AC environments.

  • Overload Capacity: Can withstand temporary surge voltages up to 500V for short durations.

  • Dielectric Strength: Offers insulation protection up to 500V AC between the resistive element and the environment.

  • Operating Temperature: Functions accurately within a temperature range of -55°C to +155°C.

  • Temperature Coefficient: Typically rated at ±450 ppm/°C, ensuring thermal stability during operation.

  • Lead Material: Solder-plated copper-clad steel leads for superior conductivity and strong solder joints.

  • Resistance Drift: Maintains resistance within ±3% after 1,000 hours of use at its maximum rated load.

  • Compact Body Size: Miniature axial dimensions (approx. 2.3mm x 6.5mm) allow for high-density layouts.

  • Environmental Compliance: Fully RoHS compliant and lead-free for modern manufacturing standards.

  • High Frequency Response: Carbon film construction offers low parasitic inductance for high-speed signal paths.

  • Moisture Protection: Sealed with multiple layers of lacquer to prevent oxidation in humid conditions.

  • Universal Application: Widely used in Arduino projects, power supply filtering, and DIY audio equipment.

  • Safety Standard: Designed to fail open-circuit during extreme overloads rather than shorting.

Prototyping and Engineering Tips from Robogears

  • 9V Battery Use: When using a 9V battery, a 15 Ohm resistor can be used in low-side transistor switching or as a small current-limiting resistor for high-power components.

  • 18650 Monitoring: Use this as a current sensing resistor in series with an 18650 cell to monitor discharge rates via an ADC pin.

  • IC Protection: Ideal for protecting the output pins of microcontrollers when driving low-impedance loads or as a base resistor for Power Transistors.

  • Related Products: We recommend pairing these with our Half-Size Breadboards and 22 AWG Jumper Wires.
