Frequently asked questions
What is the price of 390 Ohm 1/4W Carbon Film Resistor (Through-Hole) in Egypt?
390 Ohm 1/4W Carbon Film Resistor (Through-Hole) currently costs between 0.15 and 0.5 EGP across 5 offers in Egypt.
Where can I buy 390 Ohm 1/4W Carbon Film Resistor (Through-Hole) in Egypt?
390 Ohm 1/4W Carbon Film Resistor (Through-Hole) is available from Makers Electronics, UGE, Ekostra, Circuits Electronics, and Future Electronics. Compare the offers above to find the best price.
Can I use 390 Ω on a 5 V supply?
Yes. At 5 V the current is about 13 mA and the power dissipated in the resistor is about 0.064 W, well within its 0.25 W rating. With a red LED (about 2 V forward), the LED current is roughly 8 mA.
Is it safe on a 12 V supply?
Not at full voltage. At 12 V the resistor would dissipate about 0.37 W, which exceeds its 0.25 W rating, so it may overheat. Use a higher-power resistor or a higher resistance value for 12 V circuits.
