Pack of 25 beige through-hole 10K ohm carbon film resistors with thin axial leads

Adafruit

Adafruit Through-Hole Resistors 10K ohm 5% 1/4W 25 pack engineering development tool

SKU CH-WHND-ZVM0Q

A 25-pack of 10K ohm carbon film through-hole resistors rated at 5% tolerance and 300V max voltage

  • Product typePrototyping Products
  • 25 resistors per pack for multiple projects
  • 10K ohm carbon film handles 300V max
  • 5% tolerance gives predictable circuit behaviour
  • 1/4W rating suits common low-power designs
  • 4mm leads plug straight into solderless breadboards

Resistor pack for breadboard prototyping

This 25 pack supplies 10K ohm carbon film resistors rated at 1/4 watt and 5 percent tolerance. The .4 millimetre leads plug securely into solderless breadboards, perf-boards or any through-hole project. They suit hobbyists, students and engineers building or repairing circuits. No other values or quantities are included.

Passive components generate no heat or noise

Resistors of this type dissipate up to 1/4 watt during normal operation and remain silent. They draw only the current dictated by the surrounding circuit and require no active cooling. Power handling stays within the stated 300 volt maximum across the element.

25 pieces at a single 10K ohm value

The pack contains exactly twenty-five identical resistors, so every lead pair measures 10K ohm. Projects needing multiple values, surface-mount parts or higher power ratings will need additional components.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 10K ohm carbon film resistors onto a solderless breadboard?

Push the 0.4mm thick axial leads straight into the breadboard holes until the resistor body sits flush; the common mistake is bending the leads beforehand, which makes insertion harder.

What maintenance or replacement will the 25 pack of 10K ohm 1/4W resistors need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace any resistor that exceeds its 1/4W dissipation or 300V limit, or that shows physical damage after prolonged use.

What limit shows up first when the 10K ohm 1/4W carbon film resistors run under sustained load?

The 1/4W power rating is reached before the 300V voltage limit, so sustained current that would dissipate more than 1/4W is the first constraint.
