Resistor 0.5W 3.6M ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 3.6M ohm is a high-value through-hole resistor with a resistance of 3.6 MΩ and a 0.5 W power rating, sold in a pack of 5. It is a standard E24 value used for timing, high-impedance inputs and feedback networks where current must be kept to a few microamps.

Resistor 0.5W 3.6M ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 3.6 MΩ (3,600,000 ohms)
• Power rating: 0.5 W (1/2 W)
• Current at 5 V: about 1.39 µA
• RC time constant with 1 µF: about 3.6 s
• Type: fixed resistor, axial leads, through-hole
• Fits: breadboards, perfboards and PCBs
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Resistor 0.5W 3.6M ohm Applications

• RC timers and 555 timer circuits with long delays
• Op-amp and photodiode amplifier feedback resistors
• High-value pull-down resistors for CMOS inputs
• Capacitive touch and proximity sensors
• Electronics education on RC time constants

What's in the Box

• 5 × 3.6 MΩ 0.5 W resistors

Tip: For long delays, pair it with a low-leakage film or ceramic capacitor. An electrolytic capacitor can leak a few microamps, comparable to the 1.39 µA that flows through 3.6 MΩ at 5 V, which upsets the timing.
