Resistor 0.5W 1.6 ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 1.6 ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 1.6 Ω and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. As a standard E24 low value, it is useful for current sensing and current limiting where you need a small, predictable voltage drop at a few hundred milliamps.

Resistor 0.5W 1.6 ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 1.6 Ω
• Power rating: 0.5 W (1/2 W)
• Maximum current at 0.5 W: about 559 mA (P = I² × R)
• Series: standard E24 value
• Type: fixed resistor, axial leads, through-hole
• Fits: breadboards, perfboards and PCBs
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Resistor 0.5W 1.6 ohm Applications

• Current-sense resistor for Arduino and ESP32 power monitoring
• LED driver circuits and LED current limiting
• Series resistors in low-voltage supply lines
• Replacement resistor in electronic repairs
• Prototyping and test circuits

What's in the Box

• 5 × 1.6 Ω 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Use Ohm's law to measure current: 0.16 V across 1.6 Ω means 100 mA. Keep the current below about 559 mA so the resistor stays under its 0.5 W rating (P = I² × R).
