Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can these 1M Ohm resistors be used as a direct replacement for 0.25W resistors?
A: These resistors are rated for 0.5W. Using them as a direct replacement for 0.25W resistors is permissible if physical fitment and circuit requirements allow for the higher power rating.

Q: What is the lead pitch for these axial resistors?
A: The lead pitch for axial resistors is not a fixed specification and depends on how the leads are formed during installation.

Q: Is there a specific polarity for installing these Carbon Film Resistors?
A: Carbon Film Resistors are non-polarized components and can be installed in either orientation within a circuit.

Q: What is the maximum voltage these 0.5W resistors can handle?
A: The maximum working voltage for a 0.5W resistor depends on its physical size and construction, typically around 350V to 500V for standard carbon film types, but it is primarily limited by the power dissipation (P=V^2/R).

Q: Are these resistors suitable for high-frequency applications?
A: Carbon Film Resistors are generally suitable for general-purpose and low-frequency applications. For high-frequency circuits, metal film or specialized RF resistors may be more appropriate due to lower parasitic inductance and capacitance.
