Frequently Asked Questions
Are these compatible with breadboards and standard PCBs?
Yes. Axial leads fit standard breadboards and through-hole PCB pads. Lead spacing is flexible - leads can be bent to fit 7.5mm to 10mm pitch. Not compatible with SMD pads.
Is 1/4W sufficient for my circuit?
Only if the power dissipated across the resistor stays below 0.25W. If your circuit requires 1/2W or 1W, use a higher-rated part. Exceeding the power rating will cause failure.
Why carbon film instead of metal film?
Carbon film at 5% tolerance is standard for general-purpose and vintage-style audio circuits. For precision signal paths requiring tighter accuracy and lower noise, metal film at 1% tolerance is preferred. Both are valid - the choice depends on the circuit requirements.
How many pieces are included?
200 pieces per lot. Suited for production runs, pedal kit builds, or stocking a parts inventory. Not split into smaller quantities.
