Resistor 0.5W 560 ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 560 ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 560 Ω and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. It is a common value for limiting the current of indicator LEDs, for base resistors in small transistor circuits and for protecting microcontroller pins in Arduino and ESP32 projects.

Resistor 0.5W 560 ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 560 Ω
• 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 560 ohm Applications

• Current limiting for LEDs: about 5 mA for a red LED on 5 V
• Base resistors for NPN transistors driving relays and buzzers
• Series protection resistors on microcontroller pins
• Voltage dividers and biasing networks
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 560 Ω 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. With 560 Ω, the 0.5 W limit is reached at about 16.7 V across the resistor, so check the power (P = V² / R) in 12 V and higher circuits.
