The 220KΩ 1/4 Watt Carbon Film Resistor is a general-purpose through-hole resistor designed for use in electronic circuits and prototyping applications. With a resistance value of 220KΩ, a 0.25W power rating, and ±1% tolerance, it is suitable for applications where a relatively high resistance value and tighter resistance tolerance are required.
Its axial through-hole construction makes it convenient for breadboard experiments, soldered circuits and educational electronics projects. The supplied resistor has strong leads and color coding for convenient identification during circuit assembly.
The resistor leads are specified by the source as approximately 0.55 mm in diameter and constructed using tin and copper plating over steel wire, making them suitable for repeated insertion into solderless prototyping boards.
