Frequently asked questions
What is the price of Carbon Resistor 27Ω 0.5W Through-Hole in Egypt?
Carbon Resistor 27Ω 0.5W Through-Hole currently costs 0.25 EGP in Egypt.

Carbon Resistor 27Ω 0.5W Through-Hole is available from Makers Electronics. Compare the offers above to find the best price.
Is a 27Ω resistor suitable for limiting LED current on a 5V supply?
Usually not. With a 5V supply and an LED drop of about 2V, roughly 111mA would flow, far above the typical 20mA of most LEDs. Calculate the value as (supply voltage minus LED voltage) divided by the required current.
What is the maximum current this resistor can handle?
From P = I²R, at 27Ω and 0.5W the maximum current is about 136mA. Running it at about half that power gives a comfortable safety margin.
