Resistor 0.25W 5.1M ohm (10 pcs)

The Resistor 0.25W 5.1M ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 5.1 MΩ and a power rating of 0.25 W, sold in a pack of 10. It is often used to give static charge a slow, safe path to ground, in capacitive touch inputs and in RC timing and bias circuits that need a very high resistance.

Resistor 0.25W 5.1M ohm Applications

• Static bleed path from metal touch plates or enclosures to ground
• Capacitive touch inputs with Arduino
• RC timing: 5.1 MΩ × 1 µF = 5.1 s
• Bias resistors for high-impedance inputs
• Low-current voltage dividers

What's in the Box

• 10 × 5.1 MΩ 0.25 W resistors

Tip: With the Arduino CapacitiveSensor library, a higher resistor value gives more sensitivity and range but slower readings. Start with a few megaohms such as this 5.1 MΩ part and adjust the value to suit your touch pad.
