Frequently asked questions
Can I use this resistor to limit current for an LED?
Only for very low-current indicators. Use I = (Vsupply - Vf) / R. With a 5 V supply and a red LED (Vf about 2 V), 3.9 kΩ gives roughly 0.8 mA, which is too dim for most LEDs. Use a lower value for a brighter LED.
What is the maximum voltage I can apply across this resistor?
At full 1/4 W rating, the maximum voltage is about 31 V (V = √(P×R) = √(0.25 × 3900)). Keep the voltage across it below this value.
