Resistor 0.5W 3.6 ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 3.6 ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 3.6 Ω and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. This standard E24 low value is used in circuits that carry a few hundred milliamps, such as LED drivers, current-sense and protection circuits, and small power supplies.

Resistor 0.5W 3.6 ohm Specifications

• Maximum current at 0.5 W: about 373 mA (P = I² × R)
• Series: standard E24 value
• Type: fixed resistor, axial leads, through-hole
• Fits: breadboards, perfboards and PCBs
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Resistor 0.5W 3.6 ohm Applications

• Current limiting for power LEDs and LED modules
• Low-side current sensing for small motors and battery loads
• Series protection resistors in low-voltage power inputs
• Replacement resistor when repairing electronic boards
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 3.6 Ω 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity. With 3.6 Ω, 0.5 W is reached at about 373 mA (about 1.34 V across the resistor), so for continuous use aim for roughly half of that to keep it cool.
