Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What tolerance should I expect from these resistors?

Each resistor in this pack has a ±5% tolerance, indicated by the gold band on the color-coded marking.

Q: How do I calculate the maximum current through a 1KΩ, 1W resistor?

Using I = √(P/R), the maximum continuous current is approximately 31.6 mA for a 1 W, 1 KΩ resistor.

Q: Are these resistors suitable for repeated heating cycles?

Yes. Carbon film resistors tolerate moderate thermal stress, but ensure adequate ventilation or heatsinking when operating near their 1 W limit.
