Resistor 0.5W 160K ohm Applications

• Voltage dividers for reading battery and supply voltages
• Feedback and gain resistors in op-amp circuits
• Timing resistors for 555 timers and RC circuits
• Transistor biasing and high-value pull-ups or pull-downs
• Electronics classes and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 160 kΩ 0.5 W resistors

Tip: A divider output is Vout = Vin × R2 / (R1 + R2). Using 160 kΩ instead of a few kilohms cuts the current the divider takes from your battery, which matters in projects that run for months.
