Resistor 0.5W 10 ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 10 ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 10 Ω and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. Low-value resistors like this are used as MOSFET gate resistors, for simple current sensing, in audio output networks and as small loads in test circuits.

Resistor 0.5W 10 ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 10 Ω
• 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 10 ohm Applications

• Gate resistors for MOSFETs driven by a microcontroller or gate driver
• Current sensing: 1 V across the resistor means 100 mA is flowing
• Output networks such as the 10 Ω and 0.05 µF network on LM386 audio amplifiers
• Small series resistors to limit inrush current in low-power circuits
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 10 Ω 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. With only 10 Ω, the 0.5 W limit is reached at about 2.2 V across the resistor (about 220 mA), so check the power (P = I² × R) whenever a real current flows through it.

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