Pack of 25 beige through-hole 470 ohm carbon film resistors with thin wire leads

Adafruit

Adafruit Through-Hole Resistors 470 ohm 5% 1/4W 25 pack

SKU CH-JYPX-3QZ34

A 25-pack of 470 ohm carbon film resistors rated at 1/4 watt with 5% tolerance for through-hole prototyping

  • Product typePrototyping Products
  • 25 resistors per pack for convenient prototyping
  • 470 ohm 5% tolerance suits common circuit needs
  • 1/4 watt rating handles typical low-power applications
  • Through-hole axial leads plug directly into solderless breadboards
  • Carbon film construction provides reliable 300V maximum voltage

Pack contents

This pack contains 25 through-hole resistors rated at 470 ohm with a 5% tolerance and 1/4W power rating. They are carbon film axial components supplied new for prototyping use. The leads measure .4mm thick for a secure fit in standard solderless breadboards.

Breadboard integration

The axial leads plug directly into solderless breadboards, perf-boards or stripboard without additional sockets. Each resistor handles up to 300V and dissipates 1/4W, freeing the builder from sourcing individual components for common pull-up, current-limiting or divider tasks.

Who should buy

Hobbyists, students and engineers stocking a parts drawer for Arduino, Raspberry Pi or general analog experiments will find the 25-piece quantity convenient. Buyers who need surface-mount packages, tighter tolerances, higher power ratings or values other than 470 ohm should look at something else.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum power dissipation before the 470 ohm resistors overheat?

Each resistor is rated for 1/4 watt maximum dissipation, so sustained current must stay within that limit to avoid overheating.

How much heat or noise do these 470 ohm carbon film resistors produce during continuous operation?

They are passive components with no moving parts, so they generate no audible noise and only minimal heat when operated within the 1/4 watt rating.

What board or equipment is required to use these through-hole 470 ohm resistors?

They have 0.4 mm thick axial leads designed to plug directly into standard solderless breadboards, perf-boards or any through-hole PCB.
