Product description

A resistor limits the current in a circuit and converts excess electrical energy into heat. This set contains five values from 100 Ω to 10 kΩ, frequently needed in practice and suitable for a wide range of typical electronics projects.

Each resistor consists of a carbon film on a ceramic substrate. Notches set the desired resistance value, which is indicated on the component by colored bands. Each resistor has two straight wire leads and can be inserted directly into a breadboard or soldered onto a circuit board.

Typical applications include limiting current for LEDs, building voltage dividers for measuring voltages, and creating pull-up and pull-down circuits on microcontroller digital inputs. For example, a voltage divider with 100 Ω and 10 kΩ resistors can adapt 5 V signals to 3.3 V logic.

Each resistor can handle a maximum power dissipation of 0.5 watts; exceeding this limit may cause overheating and damage. Thick-film or wirewound resistors are required for higher power levels. The values included in the set are sufficient for learning and prototyping projects; specialized circuits may require additional values.

Safety notice

These resistors are intended exclusively for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes. They are not suitable for installation in household electrical systems. Work on or near electrical installations must be carried out by qualified electricians. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician before powering up a circuit.
