Frequently asked questions
What is the price of Resistor 820 Ohm 1/2W Fixed Resistor in Egypt?
Resistor 820 Ohm 1/2W Fixed Resistor currently costs 0.26 EGP in Egypt.
Where can I buy Resistor 820 Ohm 1/2W Fixed Resistor in Egypt?
Resistor 820 Ohm 1/2W Fixed Resistor is available from Most Electronics. Compare the offers above to find the best price.
How do I read the color bands of the 820 ohm resistor?
The bands are gray, red and brown: gray is 8, red is 2 and brown is a multiplier of x10, giving 82 x 10 = 820 ohm. Check the reading with a multimeter before use.
Can I use it to limit the current of an LED on a 5 V supply?
Yes, but the current will be low. With a typical red LED (about 2 V forward voltage) on 5 V, the current is about (5 - 2) / 820 = 3.7 mA, which gives a dim light. For a brighter LED, use a lower value such as 220 ohm and check the LED datasheet.
