This 510Ω 0.25W through-hole resistor is an essential component for precisely controlling current flow in your electronic projects. Its 510-ohm resistance makes it ideal for use in LED circuits, voltage dividers, and various other applications where managing current is crucial. The 0.25W power rating ensures safe operation in standard electronic circuits. The through-hole design allows for convenient mounting on breadboards and printed circuit boards (PCBs), making it a versatile choice for prototyping as well as permanent installations.

The color code for a 510 ohm resistor is typically green -brown-brown-gold. The first digit (green ) represents 5, the second digit (brown) represents 1, and the third band is brown again, which signifies a multiplier of 10 (one with one zero). The fourth band (gold in this case) typically represents the tolerance of the resistor, indicating the allowable variation from its stated value. However, for many 4-band resistors, the tolerance is implied to be ±5%. So, the value is 51 * 10 = 510 ohms.
