Product Description (Detailed):

While 7.8k Ohm is not a standard value typically found in the common E24 series for ¼ Watt carbon film resistors (which usually have a 5% tolerance), it's possible you're looking for a specific value for a precise application, or considering a closer standard alternative for your electronic projects in Pune or beyond. The most common standard values near 7.8k Ohm in the E24 series are 7.5k Ohm and 8.2k Ohm. If 7.8k Ohm is a critical requirement, it is most commonly found in higher precision metal film resistors (often with 1% tolerance, part of the E96 series), which offer tighter manufacturing tolerances and are readily available from specialized electronic component suppliers.

Regardless of its precise value, a ¼ Watt carbon film resistor remains a fundamental and cost-effective component for a vast array of electronic circuits. These resistors are known for their reliable performance and are produced by depositing a thin carbon film onto a ceramic substrate, with a helical cut to achieve the desired resistance. They are ideal for low-power applications and general-purpose use.

Commonly identified by their four-band color code (though 7.8k Ohm wouldn't follow a standard E24 code for 5% tolerance), these resistors are widely used for current limiting, protecting sensitive components from overcurrent. They are also integral to voltage divider networks, allowing you to create specific voltage references or scale down higher voltages for various parts of your circuit. Additionally, they often serve as pull-up or pull-down resistors in digital logic circuits, ensuring stable input states for microcontrollers like Arduino or ESP32. Their axial-leaded design makes them perfect for easy integration into breadboards, perfboards, and through-hole PCB designs, making them a staple for prototyping and educational projects. If 7.8k Ohm is a strict requirement, consider a metal film resistor; otherwise, 7.5k Ohm or 8.2k Ohm carbon film resistors are readily available and widely applicable alternatives for your electronic needs in India.
