The 470 Ohm, 1/4 Watt Resistor (Pack of 10) is a set of fixed carbon film resistors providing a resistance of 470 ohms (470Ω) with a power rating of 0.25 watts (1/4W) and a standard ±5% tolerance. -55°C to +155°C.
The 470 Ohm, 1/4 Watt Resistor (Pack of 10) is a set of fixed carbon film resistors providing a resistance of 470 ohms (470Ω) with a power rating of 0.25 watts (1/4W) and a standard ±5% tolerance. These passive components are essential for controlling current levels, protecting sensitive microcontroller pins, and establishing proper bias in semiconductor circuits.
Featuring standard color-coded axial bands (Yellow-Violet-Brown-Gold), these resistors consist of a high-grade carbon film deposited over a ceramic rod with a protective flame-retardant coating. The 470Ω value is especially popular in 5V and 9V DC circuits as a safe current-limiting resistor for LEDs (such as blue, green, and white LEDs), as well as base current limiters for switching transistors (like 2N2222, BC547).
Equipped with sturdy, tin-plated axial leads, they fit easily into standard breadboards, stripboards, perfboards, and custom printed circuit boards (PCBs). They are fully compatible with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers including Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, PIC, AVR, and general DIY electronics setups.
