100-piece 1k ohm carbon film kit

This pack supplies one hundred axial carbon film resistors rated at 1 kilohm, 0.25 watt and 5 percent tolerance. The components arrive new in bulk packaging weighing approximately 11 grams total. Each resistor measures roughly 45 millimetres long by 2.2 millimetres in diameter. The four-band colour code is brown, black, red, gold for quick identification.

Hobbyists, students and repair technicians

The assortment suits breadboard prototyping, through-hole PCB assembly and general-purpose current-limiting tasks where 1k ohm values are needed in quantity. Automated insertion equipment can handle the axial leads, and the carbon film construction delivers low noise and stable performance. Builders requiring surface-mount devices, different resistance values, tighter tolerances or higher power ratings should source alternative components.

0.25 watt power rating

The quarter-watt dissipation limit is the single specification that determines whether this resistor fits a given circuit node. Verify that the expected voltage drop and current through the 1k ohm element stay within this thermal budget before committing the part to a design.

Questions about this item

What are the body dimensions of each 1k ohm carbon film resistor?

Each resistor measures approximately 45mm in length and 2.2mm in diameter, or 1.77-inch by 0.09-inch.

How are these axial resistors installed on a circuit board?

Bend the two leads to match the board hole spacing, insert them through the holes, solder each lead to its pad, then trim the excess wire.

When should a 0.25W carbon film resistor be replaced?

Replace it if the body shows discolouration, cracking, or if a multimeter reads a value outside the 5% tolerance band.
