Product Description (Detailed):
Unlock precision and reliability in your electronic circuits with our premium 5.6k Ohm Carbon Film Resistors. These essential passive components, commonly referred to as 5k6 resistors, are engineered for stable performance in a wide array of applications. Each resistor boasts a ¼ Watt (0.25W) power rating, making it ideal for low-power circuits found in hobbyist projects, educational kits, and professional prototypes. The carbon film construction ensures consistent resistance values with a standard ±5% tolerance, indicated by the vibrant Green-Blue-Red-Gold color code band. This robust design provides a practical and cost-effective solution for current limiting, voltage division, signal conditioning, and pull-up/pull-down configurations.
Our axial lead through-hole resistors are designed for easy integration into breadboards, stripboards, and printed circuit boards (PCBs), providing excellent mechanical stability. With a maximum working voltage of 250V and an operating temperature range typically from -55°C to +155°C, these resistors offer reliable operation across various environmental conditions. Whether you're working on an Arduino project, a sensor interface, or a complex analog circuit, the 5.6k Ohm carbon film resistor provides the necessary impedance to ensure optimal current flow according to Ohm's Law (V=I×R). These versatile resistors are a fundamental building block for any electronics enthusiast or engineer, offering a balance of performance, durability, and affordability for your next electronic design or repair. Invest in quality components to guarantee the longevity and accuracy of your circuits.
The 5.6kΩ Resistor is a widely used carbon film resistor suitable for both digital and analog circuit designs. It is ideal for creating voltage dividers, pull-up/down networks, and base biasing resistors for transistors. With a ¼ watt rating and standard 5% tolerance, it offers great stability and durability.
This resistor is frequently used in Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects, sensor signal conditioning, and timing circuits with capacitors or ICs like NE555, LM358, or LM324.
The radial through-hole form factor makes it easy to insert into breadboards, PCBs, or use in DIY kits.
