Resistor 0.5W 1.6K ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 1.6K ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 1.6 kΩ and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. It is a useful value for limiting LED current on 12 V supplies, driving transistor bases from microcontroller pins and building voltage dividers in Arduino and ESP32 circuits.

Resistor 0.5W 1.6K ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 1.6 kΩ (1,600 ohms)
• Power rating: 0.5 W (1/2 W)
• Type: fixed resistor, axial leads, through-hole
• Fits: breadboards, perfboards and PCBs
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Resistor 0.5W 1.6K ohm Applications

• Current limiting for indicator LEDs on 12 V supplies (about 6 mA for a red LED)
• Base resistors for NPN transistors such as the BC547 or 2N2222
• Voltage dividers and level shifting
• Op-amp and filter circuits
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 1.6 kΩ 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. With 1.6 kΩ, the 0.5 W limit is reached at about 28 V across the resistor, so check the power (P = V² / R) when using it at higher voltages.
