Product Overview
This 18.7 kΩ metal film resistor provides stable 1% tolerance resistance for low-noise analog circuits, reference dividers, and instrumentation repair. Rated for 1/4 watt dissipation, the component features standard axial wire leads suited for breadboard prototyping, point-to-point wiring, or through-hole printed circuit board assembly.
Key Features
- 18.7 kΩ (18,700 ohms) nominal resistance
- ±1% tolerance rating
- 0.25 watt (1/4 watt) power handling
- Five-band color sequence: brown, gray, violet, red, brown
- Metal film resistive element with light blue protective body coating
- Standard axial through-hole wire leads
Applications
- Setting precise reference voltages and bias points in analog audio circuits and guitar pedals
- Replacing drifted or damaged precision resistors during vintage instrument restorations
- Prototyping sensor divider networks and test circuits on solderless breadboards
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the color bands on this resistor indicate?
The five color bands are brown (1), gray (8), violet (7), red (multiplier x100), and brown (±1% tolerance), confirming an 18.7 kΩ resistance value with 1% accuracy.
Are the leads compatible with standard breadboards?
Yes. The axial wire leads fit standard 0.1-inch solderless breadboards, perfboards, and through-hole circuit boards.
Can I purchase just the quantity I need for my project?
Yes. Order the exact count required for your build without taking on unneeded inventory. If you need larger quantities, 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, qualify for free shipping at $28, and depart our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Precision analog tone and steady bias voltages don't care how modern the bench is - they just need the exact resistance that makes the math work. Bend the leads, solder it in place, and listen to the circuit fall right into tune.
