Frequently Asked Questions
What are the color bands on this resistor?
The four color bands are brown, black, black, and gold, representing a 10 ohm resistance value with a 5% tolerance.
Are the wire leads pre-cut or formed?
No. The leads are full-length, straight axial wire leads ready for breadboard insertion or custom bending.
Why buy individual resistors instead of a bulk reel or multi-pack assortment?
Ordering individually lets you purchase the exact count needed for your project or bench repair without storing unwanted surplus reels or unsorted assortment packs. Buying more pieces costs 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 an $8 flat rate and free shipping once your order passes $28.
A dependable 10-ohm resistor does not ask for attention; it simply absorbs the load and keeps the rest of the board running. Keep a few on your bench and finish that build on your terms.
