A pack of eight 10kΩ metal film resistors rated at 0.5W (½W) with 1% tolerance. Despite the higher power rating, these resistors are the same physical size as standard ¼W carbon film types, making them a drop-in upgrade for projects that need tighter tolerance or extra headroom.
Key Features
- 10kΩ, 1% Tolerance – Tight tolerance metal film construction
- 0.5W (½W) Power Rating – Double the power handling of standard ¼W resistors
- Standard ¼W Body Size – Fits existing through-hole footprints
- Colour-Coded Bands – Easy identification of resistance value
- 8-Pack – Handy quantity for projects and prototyping
Specifications
- Resistance – 10kΩ
- Tolerance – ±1%
- Power Rating – 0.5W
- Type – Metal film
- Package – Axial, through-hole
- Leg Length – 8mm
Ideal For
- Pull-up and pull-down resistors for I2C, SPI, and digital inputs
- Voltage dividers and sensor circuits
- Breadboard and perfboard prototyping
- General-purpose electronics projects
Package Contents
- 8× 10kΩ 0.5W metal film resistors
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Axial
- Axial components have one lead coming out of each end, so they lie flat or span holes on a circuit board or breadboard. This matters when checking whether the resistor will physically fit your prototyping or through-board assembly method.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
- Tolerance
- Tolerance tells you how far the real resistance value may be from the printed value. A 1% resistor is useful when a circuit needs more predictable behaviour than a looser 5% or 10% part.
