About this product
A 120 Ω resistor rated at 2 W, used where a circuit must dissipate more power than standard 1/4 W resistors can handle, such as current-limiting, load and biasing circuits. Check the actual power in your circuit using P = I²R or V²/R, and keep a safety margin below the 2 W rating.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of 120 Ω 2 W Resistor (120 Ohm, 2 Watt) in Egypt?
120 Ω 2 W Resistor (120 Ohm, 2 Watt) currently costs 1 EGP in Egypt.
Where can I buy 120 Ω 2 W Resistor (120 Ohm, 2 Watt) in Egypt?
120 Ω 2 W Resistor (120 Ohm, 2 Watt) is available from Microohm. Compare the offers above to find the best price.
Can I use a 1/4 W resistor instead?
Only if the power dissipated in your circuit is well below 1/4 W. Calculate P = I²R or V²/R first; if the result is close to the rating, use the 2 W part.
How do I work out the wattage needed?
Multiply the square of the current by the resistance. For example, 100 mA through 120 Ω dissipates 0.01 × 120 = 1.2 W, which is within the 2 W rating with margin.
