- Quantity: 200 pieces per bag
Applications
- Prototyping on a breadboard - push the leads in, confirm the value reads right, move on to the next stage without hunting for a single resistor
- Replacing drifted or failed high-value resistors in vintage tube radios and amplifiers, where metal film offers lower noise and tighter accuracy than the original carbon composition parts
- DIY audio amplifier builds where a 2.2M grid leak or bias network resistor needs to hold its value as the chassis warms up
- Precision voltage dividers and measurement circuits in lab or industrial control work, where a 50 PPM/°C TCR keeps the reading stable across temperature swings
- Stocking a component bin - 200 pieces of a useful high-resistance value covers a lot of builds before you run out
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lead length on these resistors?
Long tinned axial leads. The label confirms the standard bulk axial format; measured lead length across the units shown is approximately 65mm total per the product photos.
Are these RoHS compliant?
Yes. The bag label explicitly states RoHS Compliant.
Is 1/8W enough for my application?
At 2.2 Megohms, very little current flows through the resistor under typical circuit voltages, so the 1/8W rating is sufficient for most signal-level applications. Verify your circuit's actual power dissipation at this resistance before use if you are operating at elevated voltages.
Can I use these in place of carbon composition resistors in vintage audio gear?
Metal film resistors offer lower noise, tighter tolerance, and better temperature stability than carbon composition. They are a reliable technical replacement. Some restorers prefer original-type carbon composition for a specific tonal character - that is a matter of preference, not a technical limitation of these parts.
A bag of 200 at 2.2 Megohms means the next time a grid leak goes soft or a bias divider drifts, you are not waiting on a parts order - you are already at the bench, soldering iron in hand.
