Resistor 0.5W 62 ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 62 ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 62 Ω and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. The 0.5 W rating handles more heat than common 0.25 W parts, so it suits low-value jobs with more current, such as limiting LED current on 3.3 V boards, small loads and series resistors in power circuits.

Resistor 0.5W 62 ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 62 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 62 ohm Applications

• Current limiting for red, yellow or green LEDs on 3.3 V boards (about 20 mA)
• Gate resistors for MOSFETs
• Small dummy loads for testing circuits
• Series resistors in snubber and filter networks
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 62 Ω 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. With 5 V across it, a 62 Ω resistor dissipates about 0.4 W, which is within its 0.5 W rating; above about 5.6 V across the resistor the rating would be exceeded.
