3 Watt Resistor

3 Watt Resistor

A 3-watt resistor is a type of fixed resistor designed to dissipate 3 watts of power under normal operating conditions. It is commonly used in circuits where moderate power dissipation is required. These resistors are typically made from materials such as carbon film, metal oxide, or wire-wound depending on the required resistance accuracy and thermal stability.
