A 200K ohm resistor is a passive electronic component providing 200,000 ohms of resistance, commonly used to limit current, set DC bias points, or divide voltages in low-power circuits.
Key Specifications
- Resistance Value: 200,000 ohms (200 kΩ)
- Power Ratings: Frequently available in 1/4 watt (0.25W) or 1/2 watt versions for general applications.
- Tolerance: Commonly ± 5% (carbon film) or ± 1% (metal film).
- Color Code (4-band standard): Red (2), Black (0), Yellow (× 10⁴), with a Gold band for ± 5% tolerance.
Common Uses
- Op-Amp Biasing: Sets stable DC reference levels and paths to ground to prevent input drift.
- Voltage Dividers: Works alongside other resistor values to scale down input voltages safely for sensitive circuit components.
- Current Limiting: Restricts electrical current flow in high-impedance signal paths.
