Product Overview
Built for general-purpose electronic assembly, the Xicon 291-7.5K delivers 7.5 kΩ resistance in a standard 1/4-watt carbon film format. Axial tinned copper leads and a four-band color code make it well suited for through-hole PCB placement, circuit maintenance, and prototyping.
Key Features
- Resistance: 7.5 kΩ (7,500 ohms)
- Resistance tolerance: ±5% (gold band)
- Power rating: 0.25 W (1/4 W)
- Maximum working voltage: 250 V
- Construction: Carbon film element with axial lead wire terminals
- Operating temperature range: -55°C to +155°C
Applications
- Breadboard prototyping and analog circuit experimentation on hobbyist workbenches.
- Replacing drifted or heat-damaged resistors during audio, radio, and test equipment repair.
- Setting bias points, pull-up lines, or voltage divider ratios on custom microcontroller and audio boards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the color bands on this resistor indicate?
The violet, green, red, and gold bands decode to 75 followed by two zeros, indicating a 7,500-ohm (7.5 kΩ) value with a ±5% tolerance.
Can these resistors be installed directly into standard solderless breadboards?
Yes. The untrimmed axial wire leads fit standard 0.1-inch (2.54 mm) pitch breadboards and through-hole circuit boards cleanly.
Can I purchase just the quantity I need for my repair or project?
Yes. We count and sell these resistors individually so you can order the exact count required without getting stuck with an unwanted bulk spool. More pieces cost less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day, with $8 flat-rate shipping that turns free once your order passes $28.
A 7.5k resistor is rarely the star of any schematic, but having the exact right value on hand turns an afternoon of stalling into a completed board. Drop it into the circuit and watch the voltage land right where you calculated.
