Resistor 0.5W 5.6M ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 5.6M ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 5.6 MΩ and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. Such a high value lets only a tiny current flow, which makes it useful for high-impedance inputs, long RC time delays and touch-sensing circuits that draw almost no power.

• Pack size: 5 pieces

Resistor 0.5W 5.6M ohm Applications

• Capacitive touch sensors with an Arduino, for example with the CapacitiveSensor library
• Long time delays in RC and 555 timer circuits
• Bias and pull-down resistors for high-impedance inputs such as piezo sensors
• High-value voltage dividers with very low current draw
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 5.6 MΩ 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. At 5.6 MΩ the current is tiny, so power is never the limit in low-voltage circuits; keep the board clean and dry instead, because dirt or finger moisture can create leakage paths that change the effective resistance.

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