Frequently Asked Questions
What are the color bands on this resistor?
The resistor body displays standard 4-band color coding: Brown (1), Gray (8), Brown (multiplier x10), and Gold (±5% tolerance), confirming a 180 ohm value.
Is this listing for a single resistor?
This listing is priced per individual resistor so you can order the exact count needed for your project instead of buying a large pre-packaged assortment.
Why buy individual resistors here instead of an assorted lot?
Buying individual components lets you restock the exact value you need without paying for excess parts you will not use. Shipping is an $8 flat rate across your entire order, ships free once your total passes $28, and leaves our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Every bench needs steady, dependable values ready to drop straight into a circuit. A clean 180-ohm resistor like this is ready to take its place on your board.
