Product Overview
Unbranded 68k ohm (68,000 Ω) fixed metal film resistor rated for 0.25 watts (1/4 watt) with a ±1% tolerance. Five-band EIA color coding provides quick visual identification for prototyping, breadboarding, and board-level repairs.
Key Features
- Resistance rating of 68k ohms (68,000 Ω)
- Power handling rated at 0.25 watts (1/4 watt)
- Resistance tolerance of ±1% indicated by 5-band color code (blue, gray, black, red, brown)
- Metal film construction for stable performance and low noise
- Axial lead through-hole configuration for breadboards or point-to-point PCB mounting
Applications
- Voltage divider networks, bias circuits, and pull-up or pull-down references in analog and digital electronics
- Audio equipment repairs, vintage synthesizer maintenance, and guitar pedal modifications
- Educational lab experiments, solder training, and breadboard prototyping projects
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the color band sequence on this resistor?
The resistor body has five color bands: blue (6), gray (8), black (0), red (multiplier ×100), and brown (±1% tolerance), which indicates 68,000 ohms (68k Ω) at 1% precision.
What type of leads does this resistor have?
It features standard axial through-hole wire leads suitable for insertion into solderless breadboards or through-hole printed circuit boards.
Why buy individual resistors instead of a full bulk reel?
Buying individually lets you purchase the exact count needed for a specific repair or project without storing dozens of unused components. 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 68k resistor rarely gets the spotlight on a circuit board, but it keeps the reference voltages true every time you flip the switch. Drop it onto your bench, make the solder joint, and let the rest of the board do its job.
