50 Pieces MFR3-2K7FC Through Hole Resistor, MFR Series, 2.7 kohm, 400 mW, 1%, 200 V, Axial Leads 2.7K ohm 0.5W

Tutorial: How to Use Through Hole Resistor MFR3-2K7FC

The through hole resistor MFR3-2K7FC of 2.7 kohm is a fundamental component for electronic projects that require current limiting or voltage division. Ideal for beginners and intermediate makers.

What you need

• Arduino Projects
• Breadboard Prototypeable Circuits
• Simple Electronic Schematics

Steps

1. Check the resistance of the component (2.7 kohm) on the datasheet.
2. Ensure the wattage is adequate for the intended use (0.5W).
3. Connect the axial leads to the circuit using pliers or a soldering iron.
4. Verify the correct installation of the resistor with a multimeter.
5. If necessary, solder the resistor onto a printed circuit board for permanent use.

Mini project

Create a simple voltage divider circuit using two resistors (2.7 kohm and 1 kohm) connected to a power supply and an LED.

Common mistakes

• Using a wattage lower than what is required for the component, causing the resistor to be overloaded.
• Connect the axial conductors incorrectly, reversing the anode and cathode.
• Do not verify the correctness of the installation before activating the circuit.

Recommended accessories

• Breadboard
• Wires
