Carbon Resistor 2kΩ 0.25W Through Hole

Carbon Resistor 2kΩ 0.25W Through Hole

A compact axial 2 kΩ, 0.25 W through-hole carbon-style resistor in an epoxy-coated cylindrical body. The value is shown by color bands on the body; axial solder-plated leads extend from each end for easy insertion into PCBs or breadboards. The small footprint (normal 1/4 W axial bodies are about 6.5 mm long × ~2.3 mm diameter) makes it suitable for dense PCB layouts and prototype work.

Built for low-power circuit tasks, the resistor safely dissipates up to 0.25 W (rated at 70 °C free air) and shows predictable thermal behaviour under typical loads. The body finish is an epoxy resin that resists solvents, abrasion and chipping, while welded cap-and-lead construction and solder-plated leads give good mechanical strength and reliable solder joints. Typical maximum working voltage for this power class is around 250 V with overload capability up to ~500 V.

This part is intended for general-purpose functions where precision and ultra-low TCR are not required: biasing, pull-ups/pull-downs, basic filtering and repair work. It tolerates standard soldering processes (observe recommended solder times to protect markings) and operates across a wide temperature range (commonly −55 °C to +155 °C). Packaged choices include tape/reel, box or bulk for automated or manual assembly.
