Resistor 0.5W 470K ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 470K ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 470 kΩ and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. Such a high value passes only a very small current, so it is used where a circuit should draw almost no power, for example in high-impedance voltage dividers, long RC timing circuits, input bias networks and capacitor bleeder resistors.

Resistor 0.5W 470K ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 470 kΩ (470,000 ohms)

Resistor 0.5W 470K ohm Applications

• High-impedance voltage dividers for battery monitoring
• Long time constants in RC and 555 timer circuits
• Bias resistors for op-amp and FET inputs
• Bleeder resistors to discharge capacitors
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 470 kΩ 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. At 5 V a 470 kΩ resistor passes only about 10 µA, so a multimeter or ADC input can disturb readings taken across it; buffer the signal with an op-amp if you need accuracy.
