Resistor 0.5W 6.8M ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 6.8M ohm is a fixed through-hole resistor with a resistance of 6.8 MΩ and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. Very high values like this are used where a circuit must draw almost no current, such as measurement inputs, sensor front ends and timing networks.

Resistor 0.5W 6.8M ohm Applications

• High-impedance voltage dividers and input resistors
• Feedback resistors for op-amp and photodiode amplifiers
• Capacitive touch sensors built with the Arduino CapacitiveSensor library
• Long RC time constants and slow charge and discharge circuits

What's in the Box

• 5 × 6.8 MΩ 0.5 W resistors

Tip: When checking the value with a multimeter, hold only one lead. The resistance of your skin across both leads is in parallel with the resistor and makes the reading noticeably lower.
