Frequently asked questions
How do I read the resistor value?
Use the standard resistor color code printed on the body: each band gives a digit, the multiplier and the tolerance band. The listing refers to a color code table you can use to verify the value.
Can I use a 1/2 W resistor where a 1/4 W one is specified?
Yes, electrically, because the value is the same and the higher power rating adds margin. The 1/2 W part is physically larger, so confirm that it fits the board layout.
