6.8K ohm 1 Watt Carbon Film Resistor (Pack of 10)

6.8K ohm (6.8 kΩ) 1 W carbon film resistor with ±5% tolerance. It is a fixed, axial-lead through-hole resistor for breadboards, perfboards and PCBs, used in Arduino, ESP32 and general electronics projects. The 1W rating handles more heat than a standard 1/4 W resistor, so it suits circuits where the resistor dissipates more power.

Specifications

• Resistance: 6.8 kΩ (6.8K)
• Power rating: 1 W
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Type: Carbon film, fixed, axial leads
• Colour bands (4-band): Blue, Grey, Red, Gold

Typical uses

Pull-up and pull-down resistors, voltage dividers, transistor biasing and RC timing.

Reading the colour code

Read from the end opposite the gold band. The first two bands are digits, the third is the multiplier and the gold band means ±5% tolerance.

Note: The product photo is for reference only. The colour bands on the resistor you receive match the value above.
