Resistor 0.5W 1.5M ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 1.5M ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 1.5 MΩ and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. It is a high value for circuits that must draw very little current, such as piezo knock sensors, long timer delays and high-impedance amplifier inputs in Arduino and analog projects.

Resistor 0.5W 1.5M ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 1.5 MΩ (1,500,000 ohms)
• Power rating: 0.5 W (1/2 W)
• Type: fixed resistor, axial leads, through-hole
• Current at 5 V: about 3.3 µA
• Fits: breadboards, perfboards and PCBs
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Resistor 0.5W 1.5M ohm Applications

• Load resistor across a piezo element in Arduino knock sensors
• Long monostable delays with a 555 timer: 1.5 MΩ and 10 µF give about 16.5 seconds (t = 1.1 × R × C)
• High-impedance input and bias resistors for op-amps
• Low-current voltage dividers
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 1.5 MΩ 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. For long timer delays, use a low-leakage capacitor, because the leakage of some electrolytic capacitors is large compared with the few microamps that flow through 1.5 MΩ.
