Product Overview
Xicon 291-10 fixed carbon film resistor for through-hole builds. This part is identified as 10 Ohm, 1/4W, 5% and is commonly used where a simple, durable resistor is needed rather than tight precision. It fits well in prototyping, repairs, and stocking common values for bench work. Specs are not verified by PartsMine for this lot - buyers should confirm critical parameters for their design.
Key Features
- Brand: Xicon
- Part number: 291-10
- Type: fixed carbon film resistor (through-hole)
- Identified value: 10 Ohm (per provided product identity/research notes)
- Identified power rating: 1/4W (per research notes)
- Identified tolerance: 5% (per research notes)
- Bulk packed - no manufacturer packaging included
- Good fit for general-purpose resistor roles (current limiting, small drops, damping) when 10 Ohm is called for
Applications
- DIY electronics prototyping and breadboard-to-perfboard transfers (through-hole builds)
- Current limiting in low-voltage circuits where 10 Ohm is specified
- Bench spares for repair work on older through-hole electronics
- Maker projects: LED experiments, small motor/driver test setups (verify ratings)
- Educational labs and kits that call for a basic carbon film resistor value
- Audio and power supply utility positions where 5% tolerance is acceptable (verify noise requirements)
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this resistor new?
It is unused, NOS – New Old Stock. It is bulk packed and does not include manufacturer packaging.
Has it been electrically tested?
No electrical testing is documented for this lot. Condition is based on visual evaluation (OK) and the unused NOS designation from sourcing.
Are the specs guaranteed (10 Ohm, 1/4W, 5%)?
Those values come from the provided product identity and research notes for Xicon 291-10. PartsMine has not independently confirmed specs for this specific bulk-packed lot, so buyers should verify if the application is critical.
What does "through-hole" mean here?
It is intended for traditional leaded assembly - inserted through PCB holes and soldered.
What exactly is included?
The listing is for the resistor(s) only, as received in bulk packaging. No manufacturer box, reels, or datasheet are included.
Sometimes the most useful part on the bench is the simplest one - a common value that keeps a project moving when you do not want to stop and wait for a tiny component.
