Resistor 0.25W 3.6 ohm (10 pcs)

The Resistor 0.25W 3.6 ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 3.6 Ω and a 0.25 W rating, in a pack of 10. With such a low value it can carry up to about 260 mA at its full rating while dropping less than 1 V, which makes it suitable for current sensing, gate resistors and low-loss series resistors.

Resistor 0.25W 3.6 ohm Applications

• Current sensing: 100 mA through 3.6 Ω gives 0.36 V
• Gate resistors for MOSFETs driven by a gate-driver IC
• Emitter ballast resistors for paralleled transistors
• Low-loss series resistors in power and audio circuits
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 10 × 3.6 Ω 0.25 W resistors

Tip: When reading a current-sense voltage with an Arduino Uno, the 10-bit ADC has steps of about 4.9 mV at the 5 V reference, so with 3.6 Ω each step equals about 1.4 mA. Switch to the 1.1 V internal reference for finer readings of small currents.

Orders placed before 14:00 are ready for pickup the same day. Delivery across Lebanon usually takes 1–3 working days.
