Product Overview
Xicon 291-47K is a 1/4-watt carbon film fixed resistor with a nominal resistance of 47 kΩ and a standard ±5% tolerance. Built for conventional through-hole printed circuit board assembly or point-to-point wiring, it features standard axial wire leads suitable for breadboarding, prototyping, or replacement use in audio, instrumentation, and legacy electronic circuitry.
Key Features

- Four EIA color bands: Yellow, Violet, Orange, Gold
- 0.25 W (1/4 W) power rating
- Carbon film resistive element
- Axial lead through-hole mounting format
- Rated for 250V maximum working voltage
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the color bands decode on this resistor?
The four bands decode directly: Band 1 is Yellow (4), Band 2 is Violet (7), Band 3 is Orange (multiplier of 1,000), and Band 4 is Gold (±5% tolerance), confirming 47,000 ohms (47 kΩ).
Can these leads be bent for standard 0.3-inch or 0.4-inch PCB spacing?
Yes. The untrimmed axial wire leads allow bending and trimming to fit standard through-hole PCB footprints or terminal strips.
Why buy individual resistors instead of a large pre-packaged reel?
Ordering individually lets you buy exactly the quantity needed for a repair or project without stocking surplus bulk rolls. 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, ship free once the total passes $28, and leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
A classic 47k pull-up that sits quietly on the board, doing the steady work every circuit counts on.
