Resistor 0.5W 160 ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 160 ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 160 Ω and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. This low value is a good choice for LED current limiting from 5 V supplies and for other circuits where you need a small, accurate resistance.

Resistor 0.5W 160 ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 160 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 160 ohm Applications

• Current limiting for red, yellow and green LEDs at 5 V (about 19 mA)
• Series resistors on signal lines
• Low-value dividers and load resistors
• Arduino and ESP32 beginner projects
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 160 Ω 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. With 160 Ω, the 0.5 W limit is reached at only about 9 V across the resistor; at 12 V it would dissipate 0.9 W, so check P = V² / R before using it on higher voltages.
