Through Hole Resistors

Through-hole resistors are electronic components with leads that are inserted into holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) for soldering. These resistors have a cylindrical body with color-coded bands indicating their resistance value and tolerance. The leads provide mechanical support and electrical connectivity. Through-hole technology offers durability and ease of manual assembly, making it suitable for various applications in electronics. These resistors are commonly used in analog and digital circuits to limit current flow, set bias points, or divide voltages. Their straightforward installation and clear identification make them widely employed in electronic design and prototyping.
