The 500 Ohm 2W resistor is an axial-lead through-hole resistor rated for 2 watts, eight times the power of a standard 1/4W resistor. Use it where a small resistor would run hot: LED current limiting at higher voltages, voltage dividers on power rails, pull-down and bleeder positions, and general repair work.
Its larger body gets rid of heat better than small resistors, so the value stays stable under continuous load. It fits standard breadboards, perfboards and PCB pads, which makes it a handy spare for students and technicians.
Key Features
- ⚡ 2 watt power rating – runs cool where 1/4W and 1/2W parts would overheat.
- 📏 500 Ω, ±5% tolerance – gold tolerance band, a standard value for power and LED circuits.
- 🔧 Axial leads – solders easily onto PCBs, perfboard or terminal strips.
- ✅ Colour-coded body – value can be read from the bands on the bench.
- 📦 Size & weight – body approx. 15 mm long × 5 mm diameter, about 1 g; ships in a small pack weighing about 10 g.
