A bulk pack of 500 × 10MΩ (10 megaohm) carbon film resistors rated at 0.25W (¼W) with 1% tolerance. Ideal for production runs, classroom kits, or stocking up the parts bin. This very high resistance value is commonly used in high-impedance input buffers, electrostatic discharge protection, and leakage current sensing circuits.

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.
- ESD protection
- ESD protection helps protect electronics from damage caused by static electricity discharges. It is useful on development boards because cables, sensors and modules are often plugged and unplugged during prototyping.
- High-impedance
- High-impedance means a circuit input resists current flow and only draws a very tiny amount of current. Very large resistors like 10 megaohms are often used in these circuits because they can sense signals without loading them down much.
- Leakage current
- Leakage current is a small unwanted current that flows through insulation, components, or semiconductor inputs even when ideally no current should flow. Very high-value resistors can be used to detect or limit these tiny currents in sensitive circuits.
- Op-amp
- An op-amp, or operational amplifier, is a chip used to amplify, buffer, or compare analogue signals. Resistor values around an op-amp help set gain and input behaviour, so choosing the right resistance matters for stable circuit performance.
- 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.
