- Tolerance: ±1%
- Power Rating: 0.25 W (250 mW, 1/4 W)
- Temperature Coefficient: ±50 ppm/°C
- Working Voltage: 250 V
- Termination: Axial through-hole leads
- Markings: 5-band color code (Brown, Black, Black, Yellow, Brown)
Applications
- High-impedance audio input stages, guitar amplifier tone stacks, and pedal effect builds
- Voltage divider networks, timing circuits, and operational amplifier feedback loops
- Benchtop prototyping, repair of analog electronics, and synthesizer calibration
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the color bands read on this resistor?
The five color bands read Brown (1), Black (0), Black (0), Yellow (x10,000 multiplier), and Brown (±1% tolerance), indicating a 1.0 MΩ value with 1% accuracy.
Are the leads cut or formed?
The leads are straight, full-length, and uncut for through-hole circuit board mounting or point-to-point wiring.
Can I buy just the number of resistors I need for my repair?
Yes. Instead of ordering an unwanted reel or a bulk lot of hundreds of pieces, you can purchase exactly what your build requires. More pieces cost less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Orders ship for an $8 flat rate, qualify for free shipping at $28, and leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Every high-gain input stage and timing loop eventually comes down to one dependable megohm resistor holding its ground. Breadboard it, solder it in, and let your circuit run quiet.
