The 1KΩ 1/4 Watt Carbon Film Resistor is a practical general-purpose resistor for electronics prototyping, circuit construction and educational experiments. With a resistance value of 1KΩ (1,000Ω), a 0.25W power rating and ±5% tolerance, it is suitable for a wide range of low-power electronic circuits.
Its axial through-hole design makes it easy to use on solderless breadboards as well as in soldered circuits. The resistor features strong leads and easy-to-read color coding, making component identification and circuit assembly convenient during prototyping.
The approximately 0.55 mm diameter leads are designed for convenient insertion into solderless prototyping boards and can also be used for conventional through-hole circuit assembly.
