Thread: Resistor wattage and capacitor voltage

  1. #1

    Default Resistor wattage and capacitor voltage

    Does the wattage for the 470ohm resistor and voltage for the 470uf capacitor matter with the typical Plecter Neopixel setup? I am waiting for everything I have ordered to come in and have been researching as much as possible. The build will consist of the Prizm 5.1 and a 3200mah 10a 18650. Thanks for any help!

    Capacitors arent rated in watts, but in volts. At most i think youll need a 1/2W resistor.

    The instructions call for a 470ohm resistor - wattage unspecified AND a 470uf capacitor with unspecified voltage

    The resistor is on a data line, not a power line so a 1/8W is entirely sufficient. As for the capacitor, the voltage rating will likely exceed 25V and your power source obviously does not.
