Fusible Resistor 5% 5w - 0E5
Power Rating:
- 5W: The 5W (5-watt) power rating indicates that this resistor can safely dissipate up to 5 watts of power without overheating. If the resistor is subjected to more than 5 watts of power, it will overheat, and its fusible element will melt, breaking the circuit to prevent damage to other components.
Tolerance:
- 5% Tolerance: The 5% tolerance means that the actual resistance can vary by ±5% from the nominal value of 1.5kΩ. In other words, the actual resistance can be anywhere from 1.425kΩ to 1.575kΩ. This level of tolerance is typical for standard, non-precision resistors used in general applications.
