Frequently Asked Questions
What resistance value is actually on the resistors?
The color bands on these resistors are Red, Red, Blue, and Silver, which decodes to 22 MΩ (22 Megohms) at ±10% tolerance under standard EIA color coding. The container insert card reads 560 Ohms, but the physical parts inside are 22 MΩ.
Are the resistor leads clean for soldering?
Yes. The axial wire leads are clean, straight, and unformed with no solder residue.
What is the physical lead configuration of these resistors?
These resistors feature axial through-hole leads extending straight from each end of the body, designed for standard point-to-point tag boards, turret boards, or through-hole circuit boards.
High-value carbon comp resistors have a way of quietly surviving in vintage tube gear long after everything else has drifted. When your bench needs that authentic period response, twenty-five pieces gives you plenty of headroom to complete the build.
