About this product
A 200 kΩ fixed resistor rated at 1/2 watt (0.5 W). It is used in voltage dividers, bias networks and general circuit design where a high resistance value is needed. It is a practical choice for hobby circuits and student projects.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use it as a pull-up resistor for a microcontroller pin?
200 kΩ is usually too high for a standard digital pull-up, where 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ is typical. It suits high-impedance bias or divider networks better.
Is a 0.5 W rating enough for a 12 V circuit?
Yes for this resistance. Dissipation is V squared divided by R, so across 200 kΩ at 12 V it is about 0.72 mW, far below 0.5 W.
