Product Overview
Xicon 270-10-RC: 10 Ohm, 1/8W metal film through-hole axial resistor, ±1% tolerance, 50 PPM/°C temperature coefficient. Blue body, long tinned leads, through-hole axial form factor. Each bag contains 200 pieces, RoHS compliant. Metal film construction delivers lower noise and better stability than carbon film at the same resistance value - useful anywhere the circuit needs a consistent, accurate 10 Ohm reference.

Applications
- Inserting in series with an LED on a breadboard to dial in the exact current without burning the LED out - a daily move for anyone building sensor circuits or indicator panels.
- Building a voltage divider with a second resistor to feed a microcontroller's analog input at the right level for a project.
- Swapping a failed 10 Ohm resistor out of an audio amplifier or instrument board where the original value and 1% precision both matter for keeping the signal path accurate.
- Stocking a parts bin for small-batch PCB assembly runs where consistent tolerance across units keeps calibration from becoming a per-unit chore.
- Prototyping pull-down or bias networks on perfboard where metal film noise performance beats carbon film but the miniature 1/8W body still fits tight layouts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these through-hole or surface mount?
Through-hole, axial leaded. Long tinned leads for breadboard prototyping or PCB insertion. Not surface mount.
What is the exact resistance value and tolerance?
10 Ohm, ±1%. Confirmed on the bag label and consistent with the 270-10-RC part number specification.
Why choose metal film over carbon film at 10 Ohms?
Metal film resistors produce less noise and hold their value more tightly across temperature swings. For audio signal paths, precision analog circuits, or any measurement application, that stability matters. Carbon film is fine for rough current limiting where the exact value is not critical - for everything else, metal film is the right call.
Is the 1/8W rating enough for most circuits?
For low-signal work, microcontroller circuits, LED current limiting, and most audio and instrumentation applications, yes. Calculate your circuit's power dissipation (P = I²R or V²/R) before installing. If your application exceeds 0.125W through this resistor, step up to a 1/4W or higher rated part instead.
How many pieces are included?
200 pieces per bag. Quantity confirmed on the distributor bag label.
Two hundred 10 Ohm resistors in one bag - enough to stock the bench, finish the project, and still have plenty left when the next one starts.
