47kΩ Resistor

A 47kΩ resistor is a fundamental passive component used to limit current flow and divide voltages in electronic circuits. This specific model is a carbon film resistor with a 1/4 watt (0.25W) power rating and ±5% tolerance, making it suitable for general-purpose applications. It features standard axial leads for easy through-hole mounting on breadboards and PCBs. These resistors are essential for biasing transistors, pull-up/pull-down networks, and timing circuits. The carbon film construction offers better temperature stability and noise performance compared to older carbon composition resistors. Choose this resistor for reliable performance in hobbyist projects, educational kits, and prototype development. It is widely used in Arduino projects, LED current limiting, and sensor interfaces.
