Overview
The Yageo CR-25-B 2MΩ is a through-hole carbon film resistor rated at 2 megohms with 1/4 watt (0.25W) power dissipation. This resistor uses carbon film composition and features ±5% tolerance, making it suitable for general-purpose electronic circuits where high-impedance values are required. Carbon film resistor series is ideal for electronics, commercial and industrial applications. The part arrives color coded with axial leads for easy identification and installation.
Key Features
- 2 megohm resistance value with ±5% tolerance
- 1/4W (0.25W) power rating suitable for low-power circuits
- Carbon film construction for stable, cost-effective performance
- Color-coded body with axial leads for rapid identification
- General-purpose design for commercial and industrial electronics
- Compact through-hole package for breadboard and PCB prototyping
Technical Specifications
Operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C ensures reliability across standard industrial environments. The high impedance value (2MΩ) makes this component ideal for high-Z biasing networks, sensor interfaces, and leakage current paths. Standard axial lead geometry accommodates both hand assembly and automated insertion equipment.
Typical Applications
- Biasing and pullup/pulldown networks in analog and digital circuits
- High-impedance input coupling and filtering in audio/sensor circuits
- Leakage path termination in logic and microcontroller designs
- General-purpose prototyping and breadboard circuits
- Repair and component replacement in vintage or legacy equipment
- Educational electronics projects and circuit design labs
