Resistor 0.5W 68K ohm (5 pcs)

The Resistor 0.5W 68K ohm is a through-hole fixed resistor with a resistance of 68 kΩ and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. High values like 68 kΩ let only a very small current flow, so they are used in voltage dividers for measuring battery and supply voltages, in transistor and op-amp bias networks, and in RC timing circuits.

Resistor 0.5W 68K ohm Specifications

• Type: fixed resistor, axial leads, through-hole
• Fits: breadboards, perfboards and PCBs
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Resistor 0.5W 68K ohm Applications

• Voltage dividers for reading battery or supply voltage with an Arduino or ESP32 analog input
• Setting gain in op-amp circuits
• Bias networks for transistors
• RC timing and 555 timer circuits
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 68 kΩ 0.5 W resistors

Tip: Resistors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. With 68 kΩ the 0.5 W limit is only reached at about 184 V across the resistor, and at 5 V the current is just 74 µA, so power is rarely a concern in low-voltage circuits.
