Additional Details

The 'CT52' likely refers to the packaging or manufacturing batch. The 'A' likely signifies a standard tolerance (typically 5%). The resistor is suitable for through-hole mounting. Carbon film resistors have a moderate temperature coefficient, meaning their resistance changes slightly with temperature variations. They are commonly used in low to medium power applications.
