Resistor 0.5W 1.2M ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 1.2M ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 1.2 MΩ and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. High values like this let only a tiny current flow, so they are used to bias high-impedance inputs, discharge filter capacitors safely after power-off and build RC timers with long delays.

Resistor 0.5W 1.2M ohm Applications

• Bleeder resistors across power supply filter capacitors
• Bias and input resistors for JFET and CMOS op-amp circuits
• Long time constants in RC timers and 555 circuits
• High-ratio voltage dividers for measuring higher voltages
• Pull-down resistors on very low current inputs

What's in the Box

• 5 × 1.2 MΩ 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. With 1.2 MΩ the current is tiny, only about 4 µA at 5 V, so the power rating is rarely the limit; at high voltages the resistor's maximum working voltage matters more. Keep the board clean and dry, since dirt and moisture can form leakage paths around high-value resistors.

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