Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lead style and mounting type?
This resistor features standard axial wire leads designed for through-hole PCB soldering, terminal strips, or point-to-point circuit wiring.
How are the resistance and tolerance read from the bands?
The 4-band EIA color code reads Brown (1), Red (2), Black (x1 multiplier) for 12 ohms, followed by a Gold band denoting ±5% tolerance.
Why purchase individual counts here instead of large surplus lots?
Ordering specific component counts gets you the exact values needed for a project without storing surplus lots of unused values. Orders ship for an $8 flat rate, free once your cart passes $28, dispatching from our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Sometimes a circuit just needs a steady twelve ohms to settle in and do its job. Drop it into the board, solder the leads, and get on with the build.
