The 100 Ohm 2-Watt Resistor is a fixed-value resistor designed for applications requiring higher power dissipation. This resistor features a resistance of 100 Ohms, with a power rating of 2 watts, making it suitable for circuits with moderate power requirements. Its color code is Brown-Black-Brown-Gold, where:
Brown: 1 (first digit)
Black: 0 (second digit)
Brown: Multiplier (10¹ = 10)
Gold: ±5% tolerance.
The resistor is constructed with high-quality materials for durability and can withstand thermal stress during prolonged operation. It is commonly used in current limiting, voltage division, and power management circuits, especially in audio amplifiers, motor drivers, and LED arrays.
With its 2W power rating, this resistor efficiently handles higher power loads compared to standard ¼W or ½W resistors, offering reliable performance in both industrial and DIY electronic applications
