- Tolerance: ±1%
- Power rating: 0.25 Watt (1/4 W)
- Construction: Axial-leaded metal film
- Color code: 5-band sequence (green, blue, black, red, brown)
- Termination: Through-hole wire leads
Applications
- Biasing transistor and op-amp stages in DIY audio and guitar pedal builds
- Replacing failed precision resistors in vintage test gear and audio receivers
- Pull-up and reference circuits on microcontroller and sensor breadboards
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 5-band color code indicate on this resistor?
The bands are green (5), blue (6), black (0), red (multiplier ×100), and brown (tolerance ±1%). This corresponds to a 56,000 ohm (56 kΩ) resistance value with ±1% precision.
Why buy individual resistors here instead of a large surplus lot?
Buying only the resistors you need keeps your bench organized without forcing you to store hundreds of unused values you may never touch. If you need several for a build or restock, 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 or more, and leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
A 56k resistor will never be the flashiest part on the bench, but when an analog circuit drifts out of spec, having the exact value on hand makes all the difference. Plug it in, trim your bias, and listen to the noise floor drop.
