Resistor 0.5W 15K ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 15K ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 15 kΩ and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. The 15 kΩ value is handy for voltage dividers, transistor and op-amp biasing, and as a pull-up or pull-down resistor where you want to draw very little current from the supply.

Resistor 0.5W 15K ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 15 kΩ (15,000 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 15K ohm Applications

• Voltage dividers, for example 15 kΩ over 10 kΩ to scale a 12 V battery down to 4.8 V for an Arduino analog input
• Pull-up and pull-down resistors for buttons and logic inputs
• Biasing transistors and setting op-amp gain
• RC timing and filter circuits
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 15 kΩ 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. On a 4-band resistor, 15 kΩ is marked brown, green, orange. With this value the 0.5 W limit is only reached at about 87 V, so power is not a concern in 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V circuits.
