Resistor 0.5W 3K ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 3K ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 3 kΩ and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. The 3 kΩ value is useful for voltage dividers, transistor base resistors and low-current LED indicators, and it combines well with other standard values to set exact ratios in Arduino and ESP32 circuits.

Resistor 0.5W 3K ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 3 kΩ (3,000 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 3K ohm Applications

• Voltage dividers for level shifting and reading sensors
• Base resistors for NPN and PNP transistors
• Low-current indicator LEDs (about 1 mA for a red LED at 5 V)
• Pull-up and pull-down resistors
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 3 kΩ 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. On a 4-band resistor, 3 kΩ reads orange, black, red. With 3 kΩ the 0.5 W limit is only reached at about 39 V across the resistor (P = V² / R), so it is very safe in 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V circuits.

Orders placed before 14:00 are ready for pickup the same day. Delivery across Lebanon usually takes 1–3 working days.
