Through Hole Resistors

A through-hole resistor is an electrical component made of ceramic, plastic, metal film, and metal oxide. It is designed to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, and accurately divide applied voltages. The most common type of through-hole resistor is the carbon composition resistor, which consists of a mixture of graphite and a bonding material that is formed into cylindrical shapes and mounted in the through-hole of a circuit board.
