  • Overview
  • The 3.3k Ohm Resistor is a passive electronic component that resists the flow of electrical current. It is a fundamental component in various electronic circuits, including IoT projects. This component is available in a pack of 10 pieces.
  • Pin Description
  • A resistor, by design, is a two-terminal component. It does not have multiple pins like other components. Instead, it has two terminals or leads that connect to a circuit.
  • Terminal 1
  • Function: Connects to one side of the circuit or a microcontroller pin (e.g., digital or analog input/output).
  • Description: The first terminal is one end of the resistor, which connects to a positive voltage source, a signal source, or a microcontroller pin.
  • Terminal 2
  • Function: Connects to the other side of the circuit or a microcontroller pin (e.g., ground, power supply, or another component).
  • Description: The second terminal is the other end of the resistor, which connects to a negative voltage source, ground, a power supply, or another component in the circuit.
  • Connecting the Resistor (Step-by-Step Guide)
  • 1. Identify the terminals: Determine the two terminals of the resistor. They are usually marked with a color code or have a distinct physical appearance to distinguish between them.
