Product Overview
Fixed 6.8 kΩ metal film through-hole resistor designed for precision electronic circuits and breadboard prototyping. Five color bands provide 1% resistance tolerance for stable, low-noise circuit operation.
Key Features
- 6.8 kΩ (6,800 ohm) nominal resistance
- Five-band color code: blue, gray, black, brown, brown
- ±1% tolerance rating for precision circuits
- Axial leads for through-hole mounting
- Metal film construction
Applications
- Pull-up and pull-down networks in logic and microcontroller circuits
- Audio signal filtering, divider stages, and transistor biasing
- Solderless breadboard prototyping and bench repairs
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I decode the color bands on this resistor?
The bands read blue (6), gray (8), black (0), brown (multiplier x10), and brown (tolerance ±1%), confirming a 6.8 kΩ resistor with ±1% tolerance.
What mounting style does this resistor require?
This resistor features standard axial through-hole wire leads, making it compatible with printed circuit boards, point-to-point wiring, and breadboards.
Why buy individual resistors instead of a full bulk reel?
Ordering individual components lets you get the exact value needed for a prototype or repair without paying for hundreds of unused surplus parts. More pieces cost less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Shipping is $8 flat rate, free once the order passes $28, and orders leave the Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
A steady 6.8k resistor never asks for attention, but when your bias network needs exact numbers, it does the work without complaint. Solder it in, power up, and move on to the next test point.
